内容简介

He saw the first one at Wal-Mart, where a person can find just about anything they need, and quite a lot they dont-even ghosts, as twelve-year-old Lawson discovers. Soon, Lawsons days and nights are filled with the comings and goings of numerous long-dead famous people. But for all the ghosts he sees, there is one whose face he cannot, no matter how hard he tries. Jip: Jennifer Iris Palmer-why couldnt he picture her face, when he wanted to more than anything? She would have understood. Jip knew something about everything. But Jip was gone, leaving Lawson without the benefit of his best friends extensive knowledge. Together with his dog Scribble, he struggles to unravel the meaning of his experiences. Through Lawsons unusual misadventures, author Richard Jennings presents a sensitive and moving portrayal of one boys struggle to make some sense of his world in the wake of the loss of his best friend.
