OLDER FICTION
Byrne, Elizabeth

The Grave Keepers

(3) YA Teenage Athena and her younger sister Laurel live at the graveyard their parents own in a community where the devout visit, decorate, and practice inhabiting their own graves. At school, Athena struggles to make friends and fit in; homeschooled Laurel is lonely in different ways. Old losses, including a dead sibling, further haunt the family. Byrne's quirky, genre-blending novel is creepy, thought-provoking, and original.
