The Dead Father's Club
[playaway]
Matt Haig

Just in time for Fall spookiness, Philip Noble has a big problem. His dad has appeared to him as a member of the Dead Fathers Club, a club for "ghost dads" whose murders are unavenged. With more than a nod to Hamlet, but a quirky humor all its own, The Dead Fathers Club is full of insights heard through the voice of a young person.

This title is on a Playaway MP3 player and checks out for 3 weeks with 2 renewals, just like a book! Or reserve the book here! (Did you know you can reserve almost 100 items and we will contact you by email or phone when they are ready for you?)

Recommend your favorite books, manga, DVD's & music using our online book review form. (We need suggestions for a new magazine!)
