Stealing Death

(3) YA When his farm burns down, killing his parents and brother, Kipp steals Gwali the Death Catcher's sack so Gwali can't collect any more souls. But Kwaja, the sack, has a mind of its own. Kipp's grief and his understanding of death develop slowly throughout the novel (as does his relationship with Zalika, his landlord’s spirited daughter), culminating in a thought-provoking ending.
