This book is the story of 13 year old Michael who is a very introverted and unpopular boy. This book takes place during a very diffucult part of his life when he is unsuccessfully trying to make his basketball team, has a workaloholic father who he is always struggling to impress, a sister who is to focused on ballet to even notice him, and a best friend who seems to have moved on from video games and on to more popular friends and activities. This book practically jumps right in with no introduction and instead of this being captivating it is confusing and poorly written. Through out the book Michael visits his recently dead grandpa during periods of time where he "slips" into the world of the dead, hence the title. The book on the whole feels rushed and under thought. I felt as though there was no real point and that the book was a waste of time.
