This is the same author that brought us "Small Persons with Wings" (see review of this book in earlier blog). This is another victory for her. Conor is afraid of just about everything even before a banshee shows up in his room. A banshee is a spirit whose wailing warns of an upcoming death found in Irish folklore. Ashling is a brand new banshee and has been sent to collect her first death and it happens to be someone in Conor's family. Conor has learned all about banshees from his grandfather, Grumps, and both of them are determined to find a way to figure out who the death is and stop it, even if it means traveling to the underworld. This is a great read. I loved Ashling's wide eyed enthusiasm for the modern world. I found it quite humorous.
