CREEPY NEW BOOK

Three middle school friends, Zach, Poppy, and Alice, find themselves on a strange quest from a ghost who appeared to Poppy in dreams. A creepy, bone-china doll known as the Great Queen must be buried in the ghost's hometown for the ghost Eleanor to rest. As the three set off on this adventure, nothing seems to go right. Poppy believes that the doll contains Eleanor's ground-up bones. A passenger on the bus the teens take claims to see Eleanor. As the trio gets closer to their destination, Zach starts to see Eleanor in his dreams. If the teens fulfill their quest, will ghostly Eleanor let them go? Three teens who enjoyed playing make-believe games for years, now have a real-life adventure in Holly Black's new Newbery Honor book, Doll Bones.
