Ever since nine-year-old Dennis s dad died, a

veritable parade of ghosts has been passing

through his bedroom. When the ghost of his

Uncle Arvie blows into his room on a warm

breeze, Dennis isn t surprised, but Uncle Arvie is

the first ghost who wants something from Dennis.

Dennis would love to help Uncle Arvie, but he

can t quite understand what Uncle Arvie is asking

for. What, for example, is "Fraggle pin Heartfoot a

wig pasta?" Dennis has to find out, because this is

one ghost who isn t going to leave until he gets

what he came for....

Uncle Arvie s antics and Dennis s attempts to

please his ghost form the heart of this funny and

tender tale from a Newbery Medal-winning

storyteller.
