Book Overview

by Ally Russell (Author)

Abandoned in a cemetery and raised in a funeral home, a girl who can see and smell the supernatural must solve the mystery of a priceless heirloom stolen from her family's business. Perfect for fans of Netflix's Wednesday and Beetlejuice!

"A new middle grade heroine you're going to love."--BookRiot

AN EDGAR AWARD NOMINEE - A BRAM STOKER AWARD NOMINEE

13-year-old Mystery--who was abandoned in a cemetery and raised in a funeral home--is plagued by sleep paralysis and the smell of ghosts, but she's used to that. Even though her life might seem "strange" on the outside, she loves it.

That is until a priceless heirloom goes missing and her family's funeral home is in danger of being shut down. To clear her Tia's good name, Mystery embarks on an adventure to figure out what really happened to the misplaced necklace.

But to do so, she must contend with the angry patriarch of the town's wealthiest family, a sleep paralysis demon, a graverobber, and the ghastly half-vampire, half-ghost that's lurking in the Olde Ellis Town Cemetery.
