Growing up in Peculiar County, Kansas, is a mighty...well, peculiar experience.In 1965, things get even stranger for Dibby Caldwell, the mortician's fifteen year old daughter. A young boy's ghost haunts Dibby into unearthing the circumstances of his death. Nobody—living or dead—wants her to succeed. James, the new mop-topped, bad boy at school doesn’t help.

Dibby can’t get him out of her head, even though she doesn’t trust him. No, sir, there's nothing much more peculiar than life in Peculiar County…except maybe death in Peculiar County. FIVE BOUNDLESS STARS

Peculiar County is a very strange and fun book. Hangwell is a unique town with a strange background and weird happenings around every corner. Dibby is being haunted by a young boy and she becomes determined to find out why and what happened to him. This book was really good. The ghost story and secrets make for an intriguing mystery. The characters, especially Dibby, are very likable and I love her country manner and language. This book was a wild ride from start to finish. It was packed with action. This is the first book I have read by this author, but I really enjoyed it.
