Book:Johnny and the Dead
From Discworld & Pratchett Wiki

[edit] Blurb
Not many people can see the dead (not many would want to). Twelve-year-old Johnny Maxwell can. And he's got bad news for them: the council want to sell the cemetery as a building site. But the dead have learned a thing or two from Johnny. They're not going to take it lying down... especially since it's Halloween tomorrow.
Besides, they're beginning to find that life is a lot more fun than it was when they were...well...alive. Particularly if they break a few rules...
Sell the cemetery? Over their dead bodies...
