Eerie read for teens
If you are a teen who can handle a good scare, then Doll Bones by Holly Black is the book for you.
This delightfully creepy book takes readers on a thrilling adventure with Zach, Poppy and Alice.
They have been friends forever and for almost as long, they’ve been playing the ever-changing game of pirates and thieves, mermaids and warriors under the watchful eye of the Great Queen – a bone-China doll who curses those who displease her.
But when Zach quits the game, things change and Poppy claims to be having dreams about the Queen and the ghost of a girl who will not rest until the doll is buried in her empty grave.
The three friends set off on one last adventure to lay the ghost to rest. But things don’t go as planned and creepy and sinister things start to happen.
This is a fun read full of scares and it will appeal to both young adult and adult readers who don’t mind reading about things that go bump in the night.
