Overview
Twelve-year-old Elwood McGee never asked to have ""ghost-sight,"" and it involves a lot more drool-dodging than he expected. Ghosts are the WORST--and they're all over the place in this sharp-witted middle grade debut novel. Did you know that ghosts love coffee? They're not trying to be scary. They're just deprived of an appropriate amount of caffeine! They also bump into things by accident, are occasionally nosy, and get a little nervous when they're seen by the living. Elwood McGee knows these ghost facts because he's one of those rare people with the gift of ghost-sight. And it turns out ghosts are everywhere! Especially in the small Tennessee town where Elwood and his family had to move following the death of his big brother Noah, which Elwood thinks was his fault. Once Elwood figures out he can see ghosts, he becomes single-mindedly determined to use his powers to see Noah and talk to him one last time. With the help of two girls who live on his street, Elwood embarks on a journey through the surprisingly funny world of ghosts and faces the realities of letting go. At once hilarious and heart-wrenching, Adam Rosenbaum makes his middle grade debut with a supernaturalish novel about grief that's perfect for fans of Gordon Korman and Dan Gutman.

Author Information
Adam Rosenbaum has operated a sawmill in Kentucky, stocked groceries in Los Angeles, and was a student draftsman at his local power company growing up in the suburbs of Nashville. He's spent the last fifteen years in video production and digital media in Middle Tennessee, where he lives with his wife and four kids. When he's not writing things or reading things, you'll probably find him running down a trail or trying to track down the perfect blueberry donut. The Ghost Rules is his debut novel. Matt Godfrey was raised in the Deep South on O'Connor, Welty, and Lee, and spent most of his teenage years in Yoknapatawpha County. But the books took him places, from Los Angeles to Tokyo, Bradbury to Murakami. After nine years as a working film and TV actor, he found his true passion in audiobooks. He is a winner of the Audiofile Earphones Award and a multiple-time nominee for the Society of Voice Arts & Sciences Awards and the Independent Audiobook Awards.
