Review by Anne H.
Who would like this book? People who like ghost stories.
The goods on this book: This book is a about a boy named Sam Toop. Sam is a fourteen year old boy with a special ability. He can see ghosts, but here’s the weird thing: he can only see ghosts out of his right eye. Sam helps ghosts with their unfinished business so they can hear the knocking and move on to what ever is next. Mr.Laspeswood is a ghost. He works at a business place for ghosts. He had a desk job but didn’t get each one done fast enough and was moved to a department where his job was to find rogue ghosts and bring them to ghost jail. Out in the field, he discovered a horrible thing called the black rot. The black rot is like a house infection. It happens to houses that have lost their resident ghost and if it doesn’t get a ghost soon it draws something from the void to eat the souls of whatever ghosts it can find. Can Sam and Mr. Laspeswood stop the black rot in time?
