Uncle Charlie is still odd, of coursetalking about spirits and other supernatural stuffbut he and Tony become fast friends, and Tony ends up having a lot of fun with Uncle Charlie.When Uncle Charlie dies suddenly, Tony is devastated. Then he starts seeing Uncle Charlie everywhere! It doesnt help that Tony switched schoolsit was Uncle Charlies dying wish that Tony attend the Penda School, where Uncle Charlie himself went as a kid. The Penda School is eerie enough without his uncles ghost making it worse. On top of that, rumors have been circulating about a student who went missing shortly before Tony arrived. Could that somehow be related to Uncle Charlies ghost?Full of twists and turns that get spookier by the chapter, School of the Dead is a fastpaced mystery that Avis fans will devour!
