Pushed to their limits with her wild
behavior, sixteen-year-old Lex's parents send her off to
upstate New York to live with her Uncle Mort for the
summer. They hope that a few months of dirty farm work
will result in a change of attitude. But Lex finds that
Uncle Mort's true occupation is much dirtier than
shoveling manure. It just so happens that he is a Grim
Reaper, and he is planning to teach Lex the family
business. Lex finds herself quickly assimilating into the
peculiar world of Croak, a town populated by reapers who
deliver souls from this life to the next. She develops a
love/hate relationship with her new partner, Driggs. They
stumble across bodies that have no known cause of death. A
rogue reaper is apparently the cause, and an investigation
with serious consequences ensues. You will be croaking for
the sequel! (South
