Gale, Laurel - Dead Boy (Hardcover)

Dead Boy by Laurel Gale is a darkly funny, macabre middle grade novel about Crow Darlingson, a boy who died and came back — though not quite whole. He stinks, parts of his body fall off, and he hasn’t slept in years. Yet when a new girl, Melody, moves in next door, he sees a chance at friendship and perhaps a shot at living again. But to reclaim his life, he must face tests, risks, and the mysterious wish-granting creature dwelling in the nearby park.

Gale blends whimsy and horror, exploring grief, loneliness, identity, and the value of connection. This edition (≈ 256 pages) is ideal for middle grade readers who like spooky stories that are equal parts heart and weirdness — reminiscent of The Graveyard Book vibes
