Doll Bones
Author(s): Holly Black
Twelve-year-old Zach is too old to play with toys. Or at least, that's what his father thinks. But even though he stops hanging out with Poppy and Alice, stops playing with his action figures, it's no good. There's one toy that still wants to play with him. A doll that's made from the bones of a dead girl. The only way to end the game is to lay the doll to rest forever. It's time for a journey to Spring Grove cemetery. It's time to grow up. A chilling ghost story by the bestselling author of The Spiderwick Chronicles, Holly Black.

"Spooky, melancholy, elegiac and ultimately hopeful; a small gem." Kirkus Review (Starred review) "It's a deep, strange and compelling book, at times lovely, at other times heartbreaking and deliciously weird." New York Times "With heart-wrenching swiftness, Black paints a picture of friends at the precipice of adulthood ... The tightly focused, realistic tale - bladed with a hint of fairy-tale darkness - feels cut from the very soul of youth." Booklist (Starred review) "... explores that delicate time in childhood when fantasy begins to change places with reality" Wall Street Journal
