May Bird doesn't have too many friends in Briery Swamp, a town shrouded in mystery after the unexplained disappearance of the community. She doesn't mind too much though as long as she has her trusty cat, Somber Kitty. With her mom threatening to take her to a prep school in New York, May Bird runs away to answer a letter she found addressed to her at the abandoned post office. Her answers take her to the Ever After, a land full of ghosts, ghouls and the dreaded Bogeyman. The Ever After is not the happy place it use to be and very dangerous for a "Live One" like May and an animal like Somber Kitty. May Bird is a like able character who courage surprises even herself. My favorite character is the resilient Somber Kitty. Will May Bird ever find her way out of Ever After? Will Somber Kitty find May even though cats have been banned in Ever After? Who is Pumpkin? Find out all these answers and more in this great fantasy. It is perfect for Halloween. Good for grades 4 and up.
Food for Thought: If you had May's choice to get the Book or go to the Northern farm to help the lady, which would you have chosen?

i read this book and almost finished the second one it is the greatest series ever!!!!!
YEah i loved this book in fact im doing my book report on this but i just need some ideas....it has to be long anyways...
I loved this book, but I didn't really like Briery Swamp. It seems like it was written by someone who's never been to West Virginia (which is probably actually the case). That kind of annoyed me, but the rest of the book was really good.
