Welcome to the city of the dead . . .
When Hoole, Tash and Zak stop on Necropolis to look for a new starship, Zak immediately makes friends with the local kids. And he's willing to pull a crazy stunt - like going into the Necropolitan cemetery at midnight - just to prove he's as tough as they are.
The cemetery is silent as death and full of white, wriggling boneworms. And maybe Zak should have thought twice before accepting this dare. Just because the bodies are buried doesn't mean they're dead.
