Last Keeper of Graveyard Lane

Sam Lowry can smell what people feel. Fear is burnt sugar. Sorrow is wet ash. Lies are always cinnamon. He never knew why - until his family inherited a crumbling funeral home in a town that doesn't appear on any map, and a ghost found him in the cemetery at three in the morning. Sam is a Keeper. Every sunrise, he must return one ghost to rest. But the debt has been growing for thirty-eight years, and the Collector has come to collect.
It wants his little sister. With three days until Halloween, a ghost train to board, and a bossy nine-tailed fox as his only ally, Sam is about to learn the most important thing about the dead.
