In the book, Johnny and the Dead, Terry Pratchett gives a new definition to the word ghost. No longer does ghost mean a creepy soul of some dead person doomed to roam the Earth forever. Ghosts are supposed to be sad and creepy, right? Not quite. In Johnny and the Dead, the dead, who prefer not to be called ghosts, have their own bubbly personalities. One of the ghosts even learns to moonwalk, but the life of the ghosts isn't all happy go lucky. The town wants to dig up all the graves and add more office buildings. Will Johnny be able to save the ghosts or will they all be relocated? You'll just have to read this comedy book and find out about all the twists and turns that can happen after death.
