Synopsis:
Miss Peregrine meets The Graveyard Book in this middle-grade adventure about rival siblings running a monster mortuary—written by bestselling
author Chuck Wendig.
Thirteen-year-old Molly doesn’t know how she got the short
end of the stick—being raised by her neglectful father—while Dustin, the older
brother she’s never met, got their mother and the keys to the family estate.
But now the siblings are both orphaned, she’s come home for her inheritance,
and if Dustin won’t welcome her into the family business, then she’ll happily
take her half in cash.
There’s just one problem: the family business is a mortuary
for monsters, and Molly’s not sure she’s ready to deal with mysterious doors,
talking wolves, a rogue devourer of magic, and a secret cemetery. It’s going to
take all of Dustin’s stuffy supernatural knowledge and Molly’s most heroic
cosplay (plus a little help from non-human friends) for the siblings to figure
it out and save the day… if only they can get along for five minutes.
Bestselling author Chuck Wendig’s middle-grade debut is
equal parts spooky, funny, and heartfelt—perfect for Halloween and year-round
