Why read it?
1 author picked Dust & Grim as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Not only does this book have a strong female lead, a scary, spooky adventure, and an unusual friendship where cousins who start off not liking one another have to work together, or else, but the idea that a funeral home guards another realm.

From Sharon's list on middle-grade adventures with magical elements.
