A tale about a girl grieving her mother and trying to find herself in the world, Sally's Bones is a delightful read.
I found the idea of Sally's mother sending her a gift from the grave - Bones - an intriguing one with an important lesson. Even when those we love pass on, they are always with us.
While I found Sally's character to be endearing, there were others in the book that were not. What the author has done is shown a realistic portrayal of the cruelties of childhood while also showcasing bonds that are unbreakable.
I highly recommend this book to enjoyers of The Graveyard Book, any child coping with the loss of a parent, and any reader is who has a passion for children's lit.
