There are a number of books out there with this trope. Can you remember anything else--the cover, where it was set, what the grandma/aunt did for a living? When did you red it? What was the feel--humourous like Mort, dark, Gothic, coming of age for the boy?
No, it’s not Mort unfortunately, but thank you for thinking with me.As far as I remember he lived with his grandma (his only family) and the story takes place in the real world. I think he was looking for a way to stop being the helper of death (but I’m not sure)
I think the title was “relikwieen van de dood” translate from dutch: “relics of death”. But everytime I try to look this title up, I only find Harry Potter
Thanks again for helping me
Was the book originally written in dutch?How many years ago did you read this?
Time period/location story takes place?
Part of a cover?
Anything about the cover?
Well, the language I read it was dutch, but weird dutch, like it was translated (that’s the reason I only read english books). I saw the book 5 years ago and it had a really cool cover, a bit vague (you couldn’t see the faces, more like he was turning around). The story takes places in the modern time

Is the boy's grandmother/aunt dying of an illness or old age?
How does the boy help death/grim reaper? (Spoilers are okay - just give us a clear warning before revealing a spoiler.)
What I remember is that the boy tried to escape this ‘contract’, that he tried to go away from the reaper. I can’t remember is his grandma died.I borrowed this book a couple years ago and couldn’t finish (I was really busy with school). So I took it back to the library, but I wasn’t smart enough to weite down the name or author. Normally our library has this system that it saves everybook you borrow, but 1 year ago they got a new system and all the information is lost :(
Guys I found it!! 😄 It’s a book of a dutch author, so it isn’t translated haha 😅. Still I want to thank you guys, for searching with me
I'm glad you found it. What's the title?
It’s called ‘De ruiters van de Dood 1: Gabriel’ by Bianca Schepels, roughly translated it’s ‘The riders of Death 1: Gabriel’.I just ordered a copy to read :D

I have been searching for this book for ages and can't remember the title or author. It was about a boy (13-15 years old) who becomes the helper of death/the reaper in order to save his grandma/aunt. I really hope you guys can help me! :)
