Series: Dead Yard
When Jermaine takes a bite of food meant for his Great-Great Uncle Carl's passing spirit, the angry ghost comes back with a vengeance and won't leave him alone! But with cursed cassava seeds and a strange being lurking around the neighbourhood, can the unlikely pair work together to keep the people they care about safe?

Budding film-maker Jermaine is at his great-great uncle's Dead Yard, a service for the deceased that lasts the entire night. There's music, tons of people and lots of food, so when Jermaine spots a plate of patties - his favourite snack - he digs in immediately.

But upon taking a bite he finds himself in big trouble.

Turns out that at a Dead Yard, a table is set up under a tent with food for the departed loved one. No one is allowed to eat from it before midnight, which is believed to be the time when the spirit passes through.

Jermaine wishes he knew that before 22-53! Now he's got the angry spirit of his Uncle Carl in his life. ALL. THE. TIME. But that isn't the only creepy happening in town. Kids are suffering from a mysterious illness that sounds A LOT like the Jamaican ghost tales his great gran has told him. With cursed cassava seeds in the house and a strange being lurking in the neighbourhood too, Jermaine and Carl will have to work together to keep the people they care about safe.

The first in a spook-tastic new series, perfect for fans of GOOSEBUMPS, HIDE AND SEEKER and DREAD WOOD.
