Synopsis

Sell the cemetery? Over their dead bodies ... Not many people can see the dead (not many would want too). Twelve-year-old Johnny Maxwell can. And he's got bad news for them: the council want to sell the cemetery as a building site. But the dead aren't going to take it lying down ... especially since its Halloween tomorrow. Besides, they're beginning to find that life is a lot more fun than it was when they were ... well ... alive. Particularly if they break a few rules ...
