Welcome to Litsy!

Billed as a story about siblings who run a funeral home for monsters, this MG book is, in fact, more about a broken family, rivalry, jealousy, & secrets with a healthy dose of mystery & yes, monsters (although they don‘t really make an appearance until late in the story). With plenty of humor & just the right amount of spookiness, this is a good story for young readers looking to get into the autumnal/Halloween mood. Entertaining read.

Middle Grade tonight—this one‘s about a brother and sister who run a funeral home for monsters. It‘s a great premise!

Spent some time in Barnes and Noble this morning and tried to show some restraint. The top 3 are for my youngest kiddo, though I'm planning to read the first two with him (how cute is that Dust and Grim cover?!). Bottom two are ones I've been wanting for me. Even just a half hour spent in a bookshop restores my soul a little bit.

“Rival siblings running a funeral home for monsters” I saw this on Instagram and purchased it seconds later 🙄😂

This was a fun Middle Grade from Chuck Wendig. I enjoyed the sibling relationship along with their relationships with their supernatural friends daylong the way.

Hilarious! Monsters! Mayhem! Mortuaries! Pop culture references so obscure you won‘t know what the heck is going on, but in a good way. 😂 We loved this. Comes out in October!
