Loved the book, it was so interesting and you had no idea what was going on but it made the book so much better! The ending was so surprising and I definitely recommend it.

A lot of similarities to The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman, but for a younger audience. It is still its own book and a great story at that.

I loved this book such a cute story with such a youthful and childish (in the best way) feel to it

A fable of sorts. Just scary enough.

this was dark and twisty and amazingly written! it’s listed as a children’s book, but it was pretty spooky, so be warned!

A beautiful story about a lonely little girl named Magrit. Magrit lives in a Graveyard with her only friend, Master Puppet, fashioned from bones and junk.

One day, a stork drops a baby into the Graveyard. Magrit loves him instantly, names him Bugrat, and devotes her days to teaching him and taking care of him. But the day will come when Bugrat must leave - and then the truth about Magrit will be revealed.

A wonderful, beautiful, sad story perfect for this time of year. Reminiscent of Sebastian Gregory, Tim Burton and Neil Gaiman. Suitable for younger readers. The illustrations are beautiful, the cover is beautiful - this is just a gorgeous book.

Macabre and fantastical, just creepy enough but with hope and love to shine through. It's a fable of sorts, and a dream. I can imagine this enchanting younger readers, for whom it's obviously written. Recommended.
