marierossi 's review for:
Doll Bones
by Holly Black
I'm not sure how it happened but somewhere in the early years of my YA craze, I missed Holly Black. Just never got around to reading her, even though I *think* she might have come to my elementary school when The Spiderwick Chronicles came out.
This was a good read. I wanted something creepy for Halloween and this was definitely creepy but also surprised me with the eloquence of a seasoned MG writer. It checks all the boxes and I'd be happy to give it to any kid looking for something a little twisted but who isn't into fantasy. A little unbelievable that 12-year-olds could get that far without being caught but I'm willing to suspend my belief for the sake of a well-told story.
