She is told that she needs to go see the Lady of North Farm, a place no ghost is willing to go.Īlong the journey May meets new friends and sees unimaginable sights and faces many strange adventures. She gets help from Pumpkin, who lives with the Beekeeper Arista in a giant house shaped like a beehive. This is the beginning of May Bird's daring journey into the Ever After, a haunting place where true friends-and many terrible foes-await her on every corner. And here, if May is discovered, the horrifyingly evil Bo Cleevil will destroy her. “Here, towns glow blue beneath zipping stars and the people walk through walls.” Here the Book of the Dead holds the answers to everything in the universe. It is a place few live ones (living people) have ever seen. So does her faithful cat after she does not return. A ghost named Pumpkin (with a pumpkin head) is her house ghost, or her guardian, and follows her into the lake to help her through. She sees many ghosts and other amazing creatures. When she crawls out, May finds herself in a world that is inhabited by things she thought were just in her imagination. Hidden in the trees, May imagines herself as a warrior princess, with her cat as her brave guardian. Most people are not very comfortable in the woods, but “The woods of Briery Swamp fit May Bird like a fuzzy mitten.” There, she is safe from school and the taunts and teases of the kids who do not understand her. She loves to draw and make believe, but does not fit in at school. May Bird lives alone with her mother and her cat, Somber Kitty (a Sphynx cat), on the edge of a wooded swamp in West Virginia. It was released in 2005 and is the first book in the May Bird series.
