My father left us. My mother was taken. Everyone I care about could be gone. Forever. I think somebody took them, or maybe something. I don't know who they are, or what they want. But they're coming for me next. I'm sure of it. And I'm running out of time.

Jacquelyn Paulline Kieth is a strange girl. People tend to think of her in that way, but she didn't ask for any of it. But the reason she is so strange, isn't because of her weird name, or because she speaks with a funny accent, or because birds follow her. Not even because she only has half a family. You see, Jackie herself, is no stranger than you or me. It is because of the woods. The Sinister Woods.

Geoff and Naomi are dead, and they're depressed, but when Geoff's cat Bernie dies as well, they embark on a wild journey to find it in the underworld. ***** When Geoff dies, alongside his girlfriend Naomi, they end up sharing an apartment in the Underworld as skeletons. But after a few years, Geoff starts suffering a mid-death crisis. What's the purpose of going through the motions as a skeleton if you can't really live? Then he gets word that his cat, Bernie, just died and he can collect him and bring him home! Geoff and Naomi hurry to get Bernie only to discover that, due to a clerical error, their cat has been lost. With the hunt for Bernie giving new purpose to Geoff's un-life, he and Naomi begin a quest to get back their cat. Battling skeleton pirates, climbing the sky ladder and facing off against the villain who took Bernie, Geoff is determined to find his purpose - or die a second time trying!
