Synopsis
The one thing Dominic Chambers hates most in the world is homework. With Halloween only one week away, Dominic's fourth-grade teacher assigns him an essay. Dominic does everything he can to avoid completing the assignment. He just can't think of anything to write about. Ideas don't just pop into his head the way they do with geniuses. But then a series of strange events leads Dominic to investigate the legend of Otis Brown. Otis Brown used to fish in the pond behind Dominic's house every day. Tragically, Otis and his wife both drowned in the pond. But their bodies were never found, and many believe that the ghost of Otis Brown still haunts the pond, especially around Halloween. To complete his assignment, Dominic must survive detention, a power outage, a bizarre dream, and an encounter with the ghost of Otis Brown himself. In Dominic Chambers And The Ode to Otis Brown, dreams and reality collide and Dominic discovers a wild imagination he never knew he had.
