New York Times best-selling author Aaron Reynolds delivers an quot;entertainingly spooky rompquot; (Publishers Weekly, starred review) about Rex Dexter, who is itching to have a dog . . . but ends up with a pet chicken. #160; One hour and fourteen minutes later, the chicken is dead (by a steamroller), Rex is cursed (by the Grim Reaper), and wild animals are haunting Rex#39;s room (hounding him for answers). Even his best friend Darvish is not going to believe this, and that kid believes everything! Rex#39;s uninvited ghostly guests are a chatty, messy bunch. And they need Rex to solve their mysterious deadly departures from the Middling Falls Zoo before it happens again. But how?
