Summary from Amazon UK (I don't benefit by mentioning them)
Delilah Dusticle has special powers, she can completely eradicate dust.
With her quiver pouch of special dusters Delilah can run up walls and
reaches places others just can’t. As a maid in the Fenchurch-Whittington
house Delilah’s unusual skills soon lead to her being promoted to Chief
Dust Eradicator and Remover. Until one day a broken heart leads to her
powers taking an expected turn.
Nayuleska's thoughts
A sweet and funny magical tale, the protagonist, Delilah, is more a young adult age than for a 9 year old but the story is gentle and the romantic element is tame.
You can find out more on A J's website.
Suggested read
For another read about a girl whose life gets really bad, and then goes pretty good check out Wilma Tenderheart and the Case of the Frozen Hearts by Emma Kennedy
