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.
