By Cathleen Davitt Bell
Book Description
A riveting ghost story about a boy caught between the living and the dead
What begins with a sense that Michael's deceased grandfather might be inhabiting his body soon escalates to "slipping" into to the river of the dead. When Michael slips, he relives moments of his grandfather's life and tries to help him find peace. But each time he ventures into the river it's harder to come out again. Michael will have to depend on an unlikely group of friends to keep him from slipping . . . permanently. A penetrating twist on the classic ghost story, full of humor and insight about family relationships.“
“A gripping supernatural fantasy and psychological drama.” –School Library Journal
"[A] genuinely thoughtful but never embarrassingly sentimental look at the way guys, grown and otherwise, can have a tough time being close to those they care for the most." --BCCB
