The story: Walter Prairie never expected to get hit by lightning and wind up in the Afterlife. He expected even less to be assigned as a Guardian Agent and assigned to his own HLT (High-Level Target)--Charlie Dewdle, who (in addition to his unfortunate last name) has just found The Summoner's Handbook and is busy summoning demons of all kinds from the unseen realms without even knowing it. Walter's going to give it his best shot, but it sure seems like something weird is going on here. Question is--if you're already dead, can the bad guys kill you again?
June Cleaver's ratings: Language PG; Violence PG-13; Sexual content G; Nudity G; Magic & the occult PG-13; substance abuse G; adult themes (demons, demonic possession, occult misbehavior both small and HUGE) PG-13; overall rating PG-13.
Liz's comments: Even though the age of the characters (12-ish) should make this appropriate for upper ES readers, I think the demonic content renders it strictly for the MS crowd. But that's just me--both Kirkus and SLJ rate it for 4th-6th.
