Eleven-year-old Grey lives in the legend-haunted New England town of
Ander's Landing, and he can't help but feel like a pair of eyes is
watching his every move.
He discovers odd, gruesome bits and pieces from the graveyard that are
left for him as gifts like art carved from bones or jewelry made from
(hopefully not human) remains. Soon Grey is caught up in something
bigger than he could ever have imagined.
He finds himself drawn into a strange mystery involving a race of
reclusive subterranean creatures--ghouls, the eaters of the dead! Turns
out, his secret admirer is a ghoul named Lavinia. An unlikely friendship
forms between them. The only problem is, their friendship breaks
traditions--and the punishment is a fate worse than death.
