City of the Dead (The Haunting of Derek Stone, Book 1)

Tony Abbott combines the best of the action suspense and humor that has made DROON a hit for almost a decade -- and takes it to the next level in this spooky new middle grade series. Could the road to the afterlife be a two-way street? Derek Stone just turned fourteen. Hes lived in the heart of New Orleans with his dad and older brother Ronny his whole life. Hes a little overweight. He cant hear well out of his left ear. Oh and hes on the run from the dead. Derek never imagined that the dead could be anything but dead. But theres no denying it. Theyre back -- and theyre after him. He just doesnt know why. And he doesnt have long to figure it out.
