The House of Frank is an amazing story full of magic, cherubs, half-gargoyles, and fairy creatures. It touches on so many topics and handles them with such care and understanding. From found family, the many stages and types of grief, and owning your strengths and weaknesses. Saika arrives at Ash Gardens prepared to bury her sister's ashes, but has cold feet. When Frank asks her to stay until she is ready, she finds herself the newest employee/resident. But Ash Gardens has a few problems - it's fally apart, and Saika may have the knowledge to help fix it. 

As the residents of Ash Garden work to save the house, they become their own family, supporting each other, fighting with each other, and in the end, saving each other.
