Mad, Mad Monday?On amazon there's this info
From School Library Journal
Grade 5-9 ``Teen Angel'' lives, and his name is Michael Oliver Newberry nicknamed Monday. When 14-year-old Miranda Tay lor tries to attract a boy from school by mixing up a love potion in the local ceme tery, she accidently conjures up Monday instead. Monday, who died in 1958, is back to take revenge on his old girlfriend whom he feels betrayed him after his death by marrying another guy. He enlists Miranda's help to find the '50s prom queennow middle-aged and the mother of one of Miranda's classmates. A more charming ghost than Monday could hardly be imaginedan invisible, good-hu mored, chocolate-loving, blue-eyed hunk that only Miranda can see. Readers will enjoy the contrast of 1950s and 1980s slang, styles, and fads. Mad, Mad Mon day is totally unbelievable and lots of fun. Deborah Locke, Westbrook Li brary, Me.
