Twelve-year-old Lawson's dog used to belong to his best friend, Jip, who died. Somehow, ghosts as diverse as Sam Walton and Eleanor Roosevelt are popping up to help Lawson get in touch with Jip. Jennings injects philosophical insight into his string of loopy scenarios in a book that shows that the dearly departed don't need to haunt the living to stay close to them.
