Anyway, Lavender lives with her Mom, Sylvia, in a town called Ethel, Missouri. Lavender has never met her Dad but always wanted to. He writes her letters every month and she treasures these letters like dwarfs treasure gold. Lavender's biggest dream is to meet him. But her Mom would not allow it.

She has a sidekick, self-appointed as her guardian angel: Lester, her late dog who's now a zombie dog and who has returned from the grave to help her. But the journey won't be easy for them, for the evil presence of Sheriff Murdstone, a legendary child abductor, stalks them at every turn &
