"Russell crafts an engaging blend of supernatural adventure and classic whodunit with a Faustian twist, and the mystery of the missing necklace serves as a gateway into a quaint small town filled with quirky characters and superstitions . . . Mystery is a kindred spirit to Lydia of the recently resurrected Beetlejuice film franchise, and while this novel won’t contain a 'Handbook for the Recently Deceased,' this will surely satisfy the curiosity of well-rounded Tim Burtons in the making." —Bulletin for the Center of Children's Books Mystery James Digs Her Own Grave—coming to a cemetery near you on September 16!
