Johnny is walking home through the cemetery with his friends. While reading the gravestones, he is surprised to find a dead person talking to him, then more. They have one purpose. They have decided that Johnny will be the one to save the cemetery from demolition. How can an eleven-year-old boy save the dead?

|comment= I met Pratchett at a signing for this when it first came out. I was, perhaps, a little older than the target readers for this one, but my younger brother took it as a bit of a springboard to investigate the first world war and the 'Pals Battalions' discussed in the novel.
Johnny and the Dead might not have the frenetic pace of Only You Can Save Mankind, but it contains much that I still remember after more than ten years. To my mind, the Maxwell books only really went off the boil with Johnny and the Bomb, which was just a little bit too silly.

|comment= Whoever had written what was above was right. I think that the book does not educate any one and does not have any plot
