Bookroo's summary

After what he learned at the Red House, Derek Stone knows he is no ordinary fourteen-year-old. His part in the war against the dead is bigger, and scarier, than he imagined. Now the Rift between the worlds of the living and the dead must be closed for good, and the job falls to a slightly overweight, not especially brave kid who has one last chance to become a hero.

From the publisher

Could the road to the afterlife be a two-way street? Reader reviews are in, and Tony Abbott is capturing the middle-grade fantasy audience with this new series! Derek can’t claim to be a normal fourteen-year-old anymore. Not after what he discovered at the Red House. His role in the war against the dead is more pivotal — and more terrifying — than he could have imagined. And so it all comes down to this. The Rift between the worlds of the living and the dead has to be closed . . . forever. It seems like an impossible task. And it rests squarely on the shoulders of a slightly overweight, not especially brave kid named Derek Stone. If Derek is ever going to become a hero, now’s the time.
