Grade 7-9-- Christopher Pike fans will find themselves on familiar ground here, as Siegel's story tells of a romance between teenagers of different eras, one of whom happens to be dead. Elizabeth Teller, burned in a 1960s house fire, now dwells in Ghostworld, a purgatorial netherland haunted by souls seeking the newly dead to take their places. Years after her death, she returns to the land of the living to escort a dying high school chum to the other side. Instead, she finds Andy Moser, who is about to have his brains crushed by murderous thieves, and spirits him to Ghostworld in the nick of time. Getting Andy back home proves difficult, as a horde of ghouls and monsters pursue the couple. A cliffhanger ends each chapter; a hairbreadth escape begins the next one. There's little depth here, but plenty of action. Expect a sequel: the last page finds Andy still in Ghostworld, about to pass through the Hole to the Other Side and return to his family, leaving Elizabeth forever--maybe. Stay tuned. --James Witham, Lexington Public Library, KY
