Ghost in the Graveyard is Marlene Byrne’s fifth installment in the lively Project Play series of children’s books. Set on Halloween, each action-packed chapter promises a ""spook-tacular"" adventure for Sam and his Edgebrook friends. After returning from a night of trick-or-treating, the gang joins the older kids for a Halloween-themed party, where they learn how to play Ghost in the Graveyard—one of the classic backyard games. As the friends search for the ghost in the pretend graveyard, they discover secret hiding places and learn new strategies for being ""IT."" The book comes with the rules and the inspiration that young readers will use to get out and play the game with their own friends. The book is part of the overall Project Play movement to inspire families and neighborhoods to play games that demand imagination and foster creativity so that children channel those skills into their adult lives.

Most kids can't wait to dress up in costumes and go trick or treating on Halloween. Not the Foster children. Even the promise of receiving a slew of candy doesn't interest them. Charlie, Jack, and Millie know the truth about All Hallows Eve. That it's a day to fear, a day when the dead walk the earth again. And with their house sitting directly behind a graveyard, they are prime targets for the spirits to haunt...
