Nothing could go wrong, right?\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n When Walter Prairie is struck dead by a bolt of lightning, he’s fast-tracked through the Afterlife Academy and assigned as a Guardian Agent to protect a High-Level Target.\u003cbr\u003e\n   Walter’s HLT, Charlie Dewdle, isn’t the most popular kid in school. He’s a bit paranormally obsessed. And he has just found an old book that could be used to open the Gateway for demons to wreak havoc on earth.\u003cbr\u003e\n   Now, it’s up to Charlie and Walter to fight an eclectic horde of enemies and protect humankind at all costs. But saving the world isn’t so easy. Especially when your protector doesn’t know the first thing about the underworld, bullies like Mo Horvath are trying to hunt you down, pretty and popular Melissa Bittner is suddenly talking to you, and your parents think you’re going crazy.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nA Whitney Award Nominee\u003cbr\u003e\n  \u003cbr\u003e\n “An \u003cbr\u003e\nappealing ghost story without being creepy, this title would be a great read for any reader looking for a mix of \u003cbr\u003e\nadventure and \u003cbr\u003e\nhumor.”—\u003cbr\u003e\nSchool Library Journal\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cbr\u003e\n “A fun,\u003cbr\u003e\nsuspenseful read. . . .

It happened so suddenly, he barely had time to blink. He felt a warm breeze and heard the sound of soft music as his surroundings blurred, then disappeared.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nWhen he opened his eyes, he looked down, expecting still to be holding the garden trowel. But it was gone. Then he noticed how pink and clean his skin looked. His nails glowed.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n“What the--” Walter yelped as he held his fingers close to his eyes, trying to focus. Someone was going to get slugged for painting his nails.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nWalter glanced around and realized that he was in an office. It looked like a principal’s office. What was he doing there?\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nBrightly lit hallways stretched endlessly from the room. He could see no fewer than a hundred closed doors along either side. Unless his school had recently gone through a remodel without him being aware of it, this wasn’t the principal’s office at Yorkshire Middle School. And what was with the strange harplike music playing in the background?
