This book is about a girl named Meg who has a hard life and ends up being a criminal with a partner named Belch. They try to rob an old man. Their dog bites the man when he comes down the stairs with a shot gun. He lets go of the shot gun. Belch grabs it and they run away.

Then Belch shoots a gas tank because he wants to die and escape time in prison. Meg and Belch die. Belch goes to Hell but Meg is too good for Hell and too bad for Heaven. She must help the old man, Lowrie, complete his three wishes on his wish list, to go to Heaven.

I think that this would appeal to people who like ghost stories because it has a lot of ghosts.

The author, Eion Colfer, has written the Artemis Fowl series. If you like those books because the hero isn't perfectly good you would like this too.
