A strange old book called The Complete Necromancer holds more than
magical instruction--it holds actual ghosts and powerful passages that
can bring up the dead--a proposition that intrigues friends Ming,
Courtney and Orion. Their quest for knowledge brings the local
library's books to life with spooky moving images--and unleashes a
storm that could overtake the town. A wonderful, spellbinding story
suitable for advanced elementary through middle school grade levels
evolves.
