Book cover of The Lifters by Dave Eggers

The Lifters / Dave Eggers

Gran has a strange name and a strange new house in an even stranger town. The only person at his school who even realizes he’s alive is the strangest part of all. Will Gran figure out where Catalina Catalan keeps going when she sneaks off, and why sinkholes keep opening up all over town? Give this book a try if you like stories about being a kid in a world of adult problems—and if you believe in the power of lifting others up.   Great fantasy writing for ages 8-12.
