This week's book pick is Stealing Death by Janet Lee Carey.

Kipp is all alone in the world except for his younger sister Jilly. One morning while he attempted to catch a wild horse, his family's home burned to the ground, killing both his parents and younger brother. On that day he sees the Gwali for the first time. The Gwali are the beings who gather the souls of the dead, and only those with the ability of the Naqui can see them. Kipp is determined he will use his newfound capability to get his family's souls back, and to keep the Gwali away from both Jilly and the girl he loves.
