A Ghost, a Mother, a Witch, and an Archeologist Walk Into a House. This isn't a joke! It's a House With Good Bones.

 I know a house with good bones is a real estate term, but this book could have been called a house with mysterious bones or a house with bad bones or even Where'd This Jar of Teeth Come Froom?

Yes! All kinds of calcified things are buried around this house. There's more! A mean ghost, a distraught mother, a nice witch, and an archeologist. The protagonist is fat. Yay for chubby heroines! And there are vultures. Lots and lots of vultures. There's a disabled vulture who resembles a pancake. Let's not forget the human males, a grumpy neighbor and his hot, handyman grandson. 

With a lineup like that, this story goes places. Mainly underground, but underground is a place. A place with underground children. Hungry, hungry underground children.

There's also a cute running gag about the size of Texas.

Likeable characters (except for the mean ghost.) Even the pancake vulture is loveable. Fast paced action toward the end. Read this book or the underground children will get you.

Thanks to Netgalley and Tor/Nightfire for allowing me to read and review an eARC of A House With Good Bones.
