What to expect

Brought to you by Penguin.

From bestselling author James Patterson comes the next middle grade hit with this ghostly adventure story.


I'm Finn McAllister, I'm a normal middle schooler, and on June sixth I died.

I know, I know - you weren't expecting me to die so soon. Me neither. But dying is just the beginning of my story. You see, now I'm a ghost!

I don't have to go to school. I can play as many video games as I want. And I can try every ice cream flavor in the store.

I've made a new friend, too. She's also a ghost. It's pretty neat, huh?

Only thing is, I have some unfinished business. And until I, well, finish it, I can't really move on...
