Summary: When Oliver 'Boo' Dalrymple wakes up in heaven - a place called Town - the eighth-grade science geek thinks he died of a heart defect at his school. But soon after arriving in this hereafter reserved for dead thirteen-year-olds, Boo discovers he's a 'gommer', a kid who was murdered. What's more, his killer may also be in heaven. With help from the volatile Johnny, a classmate killed at the same school, Boo sets out to track down the enigmatic Gunboy, who cut short both their lives. Along the way they are helped by Thelma, a 'do-gooder', and Esther, a trainee do-gooder. Will the group of friends find Gunboy and kick him out of Town, like the gommers want? Or is there more to the mystery than meets the eye?
