This was really fun. A new girl moves in next door and wants to be friends with the weird eccentric next door, even though all the other kids think he is a freak. He is a freak. He can see monsters and talk to dead people. That is just part of what makes this such a fun read. I like to see a character that wants to hang with the strange and unusual instead of always trying to be popular. A great and fun read for any age. I can not wait to pick up book 2.
