The dead speak to Mary Hellick and she wishes they'd shut up. She is an outcast at Eastern Snyder High School and is often called Freak, Witch, etc. She has a weekly appointment with the school counselor, Mr. Landa, whose desk is haunted by Mrs. Brown, a former librarian at the school. She has only 1 friend, Rachel, a Goth whose father is an attorney. When a new boy, Cyrus Asher, comes to the high school, he befriends Mary despite cheerleader Vicky Butler's objections. Cyrus invites Mary to his home to watch movies and Mary discovers it is haunted by a malevolent ghost named Ricky. When Vicky convinces Cyrus that Mary is weird and Cyrus avoids her, Mary decides to use her clairaudience to rid his house of the ghost guilty of murder, suicide, and disfigurement by explosion. Great page-turner featuring friendly, helpful ghosts, as well murderous ones...and an energetic ghost terrier who proves to be instrumental in destroying the ghost's anchor...in the microwave.
