Larry's got a few problems. In school, he's one of those kids who easily gets lost in the crowd. And Grimm, Larry's best friend in the whole world, has ghosted him. Literally. One minute Grimm was saving a cat in a tree during a lightning storm, and the next, he's pulling pranks on Larry in his new ghostly form. When the two best friends realise that there's something keeping Grimm tethered to their world, they decide that finishing their Totally To-Do bucket list is the perfect way to help Grimm with his unfinished business. Pulling hilarious pranks and shenanigans may be easier with a ghostly best friend, but as Larry and Grimm brave the scares of school, they realise that saying goodbye might just be the scariest part of school.

This is a unique middle grade approach to the death of a friend that makes sense of loss through humor. -School Library Journal Fry (the How to Be a Supervillain series) balances a serious premise with a gleefully manic energy....Fry's black-and-white linework-vibrant and just a little over-the-top-adds hilarity. -Publishers Weekly Fry's comical pen-and-ink-style drawings add humor and charm....appealingly silly. -Kirkus Fry provides passages with an openly therapeutic focus and works in multiple side plots, but along with antic misadventures, comical line drawings, and droll punchlines aplenty, dishes up a pair of protagonists who, despite the fact that one is dead, were plainly made for each other. -Booklist -
