The Gravesavers by Sheree FitchMinn (short for Cinnamon) is spending the summer with her grandmother in a quiet Nova Scotia town while her parents recover from a family tragedy. Minn is not pleased, since she and her grandmother have never gotten along - and Minn is wary of her grandmother's secret locked closet.
When Minn discovers a tiny skull on the beach and meets a mysterious young man, her summer becomes far more interesting and she learns that people are not always what they seem to be.
I liked Minn. She is quirky (she swears by saying geographic locations - "Pugwash!" - or Latin plant names) and she did some things during the summer that surprised even herself. In particular, the scenes set in the past were interesting with the interactions between the two brothers. I had not known that Sheree Fitch wrote novels until I read this book (recommended to me by a student), and I hope she will publish more in the future.
4 stars out of 5 for The Gravesavers.
