In Croak the main character Lex is someone who most girls wish they could be; smart, edgy, cool and she doesn't take any bull crap from anyone. As far as romance goes, this book is not lacking.
These are troubled times, and suspicion rises, but there are still people who believe in Lex. This book makes you hope that there will be a place where kids with discipline problems will be wanted, even needed, and understood. Lex is one of those kids and she has the power to transport your soul. Knowing her problems, would you let her transfer yours?
I say, "Let's go misfits!" If you want a little trouble in your life, you need to read Croak by Gina Damico!

More About Croak:
Fed up with her wild behavior, sixteen-year-old Lex's parents ship her off to upstate New York to live with her Uncle Mort for the summer, hoping that a few months of dirty farm work will whip her back into shape.
But Uncle Mort's true occupation is much dirtier than shoveling manure. He's a Grim Reaper. And he's going to teach Lex the family business.
She quickly assimilates into the peculiar world of Croak, a town populated by reapers who deliver souls from this life to the next. But Lex can't stop her desire for justice - or is it vengeance? - whenever she encounters a murder victim, craving to stop the attackers before they can strike again.
Will she ditch Croak and go rogue with her reaper skills?
