4-6Five Kingdoms series.
Cole's adventures in the Outskirts continue, this time leading him and his friends from Zeropolis to Necronum, a land of ghosts. The group splits up, which allows the story to focus more closely on Cole. Lighter on action but with more mysticism, this entry in the series provides an interesting change of pace as the protagonists struggle against their foes, corporeal and not.
