Opening scene grabbed the attention of the listening audience and held their attention! A young boy grave robber as the main character wasn’t something we’ve come across before and it left lots of room for open discussions about Cap’s moral conflicts within our group. Perfect audio book for children 8 years and up.
The book is set in 1875 Ohio and follows young boy, Cap, as he and his Dad are forced to become grave robbers to make the extra money to support Cap's Mom as she is not well and pregnant. They remove the dead bodies to sell to the university for medical testing. One night, Cap touches the dead and the corpse comes back to life. I don't want to spoil the story but I definitely recommend this creepy tale of intrigue and murder. Thanks so much to #netgalley for the early review copy.
