Whichwood By: Tahereh Mafi Submitted by Abigail E.
Plot: Whichwood is a book about a 13 year old mordeshoor (somebody who has to wash dead bodies to send them to the afterlife, which they call the "Otherwhere") named Laylee who lost both of her parents (her mother died and her father left because of the grief) and meets two random kids named Alice and Oliver who have been selected to help her restore color back into Laylee's life.
Why Read: This book is worth reading because it's like two stories in one. I also thought it was really interesting since it mentions a lot of things that I've never heard about before, but sound very similar to things that we have in real life, like the mordeshoor for example sounds something like a mortician.
