Bookroo's summary
Rex Dexter just wanted a dog, but after his pet chicken's untimely demise, he's cursed by the Grim Reaper. Now, haunted by ghostly zoo animals, Rex must unravel the mystery of their deaths to break the curse. With his skeptical friend Darvish in tow, Rex faces a whirlwind of spectral chaos and puzzling clues. Can he solve the enigma before more animals meet their end? Dive into a world where the afterlife is chatty, messy, and full of surprises. Will Rex find the answers he needs, or will the curse haunt him forever?
From the publisher
New York Times best-selling author Aaron Reynolds delivers an entertainingly spooky romp (Publishers Weekly, starred review) about Rex Dexter, who is itching to have a dog . . . but ends up with a pet chicken.One hour and fourteen minutes later, the chicken is dead (by a steamroller), Rex is cursed (by the Grim Reaper), and wild animals are haunting Rex’s room (hounding him for answers). Even his best friend Darvish is not going to believe this, and that kid believes everything. Rex’s uninvited ghostly guests are a chatty, messy bunch. And they need Rex to solve their mysterious deadly departures from the Middling Falls Zoo before it happens again. But how?
