Dust & Grim
ByPublisher Description
A New York Times bestseller! Rival siblings inherit a monstrous family business in this funny and frightening adventure for fans of Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children and The Graveyard Book.
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 reading.

“I loved this book. It was very heartwarming and whimsical. It had amazing character development and a great plotline. I would definitely recommend it for young middle school readers as a great lesson about family and really the places where we find we belong. I cried, unfortunately, during the third part of the book but that was because you develop a love for all of these characters. Only reason that it isn't five stars is that I probably will not be thinking of this story and these characters in the future, but it was an amazing book that I enjoyed reading”
