DENIS EVER AFTER

A bittersweet novel for middle grade readers told by the ghost of Denis Egan who must team up with his living twin brother Matt to uncover the mysterious circumstances behind his death. Written by Tony Abbott, author of the Golden Kite Award winning book Firegirl.

Denis Egan is dead. He's okay with that. It's been five years since he died, and Port Haven, the place where souls go, is actually pretty nice. Sure, there are some things about his life and how it ended he can't quite recall, but that's how it's supposed to be. Remembering could prevent Denis from moving on to whatever's next. However, something is standing in his way. His twin brother Matt can't let go of him, and as long as the living are holding on to his memory, Denis can't rest in peace. So he returns to his hometown of Buckwood, Pennsylvania, to find out why Matt is still so obsessed, only to realize that the circumstances surrounding his death are not at all what he imagined. To uncover the truth about what happened that day five years before, Denis teams up with Matt.

But leaving Port Haven for too long has painful consequences for Denis, and Matt's renewed interest in his brother's passing is driving a wedge between his still-grieving parents. Can the two boys solve the mystery of Denis's death without breaking apart the family he's left behind? Equal parts moving, funny, and suspenseful, bestselling author Tony Abbott's latest novel will grab hold of your heart and won't let go.
