On the Day I Died: Stories from the Grave by Candace Fleming 208 pages

Mike, on his way home from being out too late, almost hits a girl who is standing in the middle of the road. After dropping the girl off at the end of her road, he realizes that she left her saddle shoes. As he tries to return them back to her, Mike learns that she really is dead and resides in the cemetery close by. After arriving at the White Cemetery, Mike learns that there are more ghosts looking to tell their stories of how they died.   

There are ten stories in total, all having a supernatural death. One boy’s death comes from being eaten by grow-your-own mutant pets from a comic book. Two girls die because they looked in the looking glass and saw their dark sins, envy and vanity. Who knew that going into an abandoned insane asylum could be bad for your health?

This book kept me on my toes and I kept coming back for more. Though this is a children's book, I would recommend it for middle school age on up.
