Embassy of the Dead by Will Mabbitt

This review was written for LibraryThing Early Reviewers.

Jake runs into a scary stranger who wishes him good morning, then hands him a box, which turns out to contain a withered human finger. Not knowing what to do, he carries it around in his backpack because his parents have recently split and Jake can't decide on who to tell. His indecision may save his life, because the scary stranger returns and is required to bring Jake, an unlicensed human to opened Embassy property, to the Embassy of the Dead for eternal punishment.
A fast moving and original story about mistaken identity and all the red tape involved in being dead. It features the worst illustrations I've ever seen in a book.… (more)

Embassy of the Dead: Hangman's Crossing by Will Mabbitt

This review was written for LibraryThing Early Reviewers.

As a fifth grade teacher, i can see my students truly enjoying this story. It has enough spookiness and supernatural elements to keep them interested; however, it is not inappropriately scary. This is number 2 in the series that must really be read in order. Although the author does keep making references to the back story, it is still difficult to follow if you haven't read the first one.
