Doll Bones - Hardcover

"Nobody does spooky like Holly Black. Doll Bones is a book that will make you sleep with the lights on." (Jeff Kinney, author of the Diary of a Wimpy Kid series)

"Spooky, melancholy, elegiac and ultimately hopeful; a small gem." (Kirkus Review (Starred review))

"A little bit scary and full of heart, this story grabbed me and wouldn't let go." (Rebecca Stead, author of Liar and Spy)

"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))
