Margaret Ann Mayhew is dead.
Dead as a doornail dead.
But that doesn't mean she's got nothing to do. There are friends to make, graverobbers to foil, and this scary dark presence that always seems to show up at the wrong time. Luckily, Grandpa is there to ease the transition and provide help through all the excitement.
And then, there are the "Boys from Down-Under...."
All in all, it's not a "bad life" being dead.
