The Afterlife Academy

By: Frank L. Cole

Narrated by: Reuben Corbett

Fans of Adam Gidwitz and Neil Gaiman will love this middle-grade adventure about two boys, a mysterious, old book with some dark secrets, and a horde of angry demons. Nothing could go wrong, right? When Walter Prairie is struck dead by a bolt of lightning, he's fast-tracked through the Afterlife Academy and assigned as a Guardian Agent to protect a High-Level Target. Walter's HLT, Charlie Dewdle, isn't the most popular kid in school. He's a bit paranormally obsessed. And he has just found an old book that could be used to open the Gateway for demons to wreak havoc on earth.' Now, it's up to Charlie and Walter to fight an eclectic horde of enemies and protect humankind at all costs. But saving the world isn't so easy. Especially when your protector doesn't know the first thing about the underworld, bullies like Mo Horvath are trying to hunt you down, pretty and popular Melissa Bittner is suddenly talking to you, and your parents think you're going crazy.

It is one of my favorite books! I loved the ending so much. one of the best books.

Love, love, love!!!!

I highly recommend you listen to this book! It sucks you in from the very beginning. Such a fun and engaging story! Great for all ages! The narrator is very talented and brought this book to life!

An Engaging Story!

This short, fun story engages the imagination of not only middle aged kids, but adults too! The interaction between the two main characters had me laughing all the time. You get a healthy dose of demons, magic, action, paranormal events and plot twists. The narrator did a fantastic job, too! His voices for all the different characters were so entertaining, without being distracting. Very well read. I highly recommend this book!

The Afterlife Academy

My daughter and I loved this book. It is so fantastic. We love Franks’s books. They are engaging and very entertaining.

Fun and entertaining

This is a fun book for kids and adults. It is a light hearted tale of a young boy who has to protect another boy from demons from the underworld. My favorite character is the demon Hoonga. Even though he's a demon who wants to terrorize the world he's only a little scary and he enjoys torturing his fellow demons by making them play human games with him. At just under 6 hours it's a quick listen and the narrator does a great job and makes it fun. I really enjoyed this book, well worth the credit!
