What I want to say in my speech is: everything. I've got this hankering, as Harv would say, a notion to tell the whole story. I want to tell John Hindley's story. He can't tell it himself because he's dead. Kaput. History. Long gone—in a manner of speaking.

But the whole truth and nothing but the truth cross my heart hope to die stick a needle in my eye is a slippery thing. That's why, after I'm introduced, I'll be telling all these good folks a big fat whopping lie. For their own protection.

...from pages 1-2

The Gravesavers is about a young 12-year-old girl. Cinnamon Hotchkiss is her name but she prefers Minn. Minn packs up her things and heads to Boulder Basin to spend the summer with her grandmother. Minn isn't a fan of her grandma due to past experiences. But Minn and her grandma put their differences aside in order to save the graves of those who died in the tragic crash of the S.S. Atlantic.

I liked The Gravesavers. It was very interesting and had a unique storyline. Minn's story was unlike any I've ever read. I'd recommend this book to probably more of an adult or teen crowd, considering that the book is, in my opinion, one that older people would enjoy more than young people.
