The Incredibly Dead Pets of Rex Dexter, by Aaron Reynolds is a hoot. Rex sees dead animals, like his pet chicken, Drumstick. Dead animals who can't move on to pet heaven until their murders are solved. Lots of fun word play and silly situations. Younger middle grade readers will love this one.

Hello. I just joined bluesky. My name is Stephanie Theban. I write fiction, mostly for middle grade readers, and poetry. I'm hoping to connect with other writers and people of good will.

That's a lovely image, and a great reflection of how it feels when those ideas start swirling.
