Twelve-year-old Kimmy Jones wants to excel at the unique (and secret) aspect of her family's funeral home business. Under the watchful eye of Grandma Bev, Kimmy learns how to raise the recently deceased, request their last wish, and break the connection to send them on. But when Grandma unexpectedly dies herself, Kimmy can't reach her spirit, and nothing seems like it's ever going to be right again. Then a boy dies under mysterious circumstances on the night of a meteor shower. With no witnesses, Kimmy's the only one who can get answers about what happened. So she breaks into the hospital morgue, and for the first time in months, her power works. She Wakes the boy up. Except then Kimmy can't break the connection and so he stays Awake. Even worse, the boy has no memory of what happened to him. As Kimmy works to unravel the mystery, she discovers secrets about her heritage and learns about a witch who has been wreaking havoc for centuries.
