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.
