May O'Connor used to live a normal life with her step-dad, Victor, in Oakside, Wisconsin. They fought as families do, but nothing serious until May's life started to turn upside-down. After her mom died, it had been a bumpy road for the both of them. Neither one of them wanted to get along, let alone live together like a 'family'. Her life couldn't be anymore disastrous. Or so she thinks. When her life takes a turn for the worst, she is forced to leave her old memories behind after her school mysteriously burns down. What's even worst is her step-dad has plans to move her to a small town in Maine, where paranormal is the main attraction. As things begin to become weirder and weirder, May soon learns that there is more to her thought-to-be-boring life she lead. Her actions now have even more life-alternating consequences. Promises will be broken; secrets will be spilled; lives will be shattered. Will there be anything normal to go back to? Find out my reading this thrilling tale!

Meet May Bird: a very shy, very precocious young girl who wants nothing more than to live in a world where she’s accepted and loved. One day while walking in the woods she finds that world—or falls into it, really. Through a pond, May enters the Ever After, a world of ghosts. Here, towns glow blue beneath zipping stars and the people—are they really people?—walk through walls. Here, the Book of the Dead holds the answers to everything in the universe. And here, if May is discovered, the horrifyingly evil Bo Cleevil will turn her into nothing. May Bird must get out. Fast. As May journeys through fantastic lands, she gathers an unusual group of new friends who join together to overcome Bo Cleevil and find the way back home.
