Description
Can’t face cleaning out your garage, shed, or attic?
Call the Gross Busters!
Everyone in Glummingford, it seems, needs someone to sort through their hoarder stash, clear out the rotting rubbish, or manage their sidewalk sale. No job’s too foul for Nick, Khenan, and their eccentric helper, Florrie — until the Gross Busters uncover something strange in a schoolhouse they’ve been hired to clear out, something that stirs up a much bigger mess than any of them could’ve ever expected.

Review Quotes
“This was such a fun and yet heartwarming read. … This book has some deeper topics and realities of how life isn’t always fair. But the families were wonderful and the connection was something I strive for with my family.”
“The flowing narrative, realistic characters whose lives have been touched by grief and the ravages of addiction, and a satisfying (and not-too-tidy) ending make this book a great choice for readers who appreciate a gentle approach to tender topics.”
