I love this book!
A world where ghosts, goblins, and skeletons are the norm. And humans a frightening myth.

I stumbled upon the description for this book and thought I'd give it a go. A new take on ghosts? Why not? And I wasn't disappointed! Well written and very entertaining, the author clearly has a wonderful sense of humor that he lent to the main ghost character, Bernie. I found myself chuckling almost all the way through this delightful little story.
Of course, as an adult reading a YA book I did find some things a little too simplistic but since I'm not the target audience that's okay. Besides, it didn't detract from my overall enjoyment of the book.
I did love the skeletons, especially when one of them practiced karate and the flow of learning about the ghost world kept me entertained and my attention riveted.
I do hope the author writes a sequel. There's more to be told!
