Doll Bones by Holly Black
3.0
The story of three friends on the cusp of teenage life embark on a quest. The doll, the Queen of all their games, is home to the ghost of the girl whose bones are mixed into the doll's porcelain skin, and she tells these kids to find her empty grave so she can at last be buried. The kids go but find that real life quests don't always go as planned.
I have to confess that I was a little disappointed in this book. It just didn't seem to have the zing of brilliance that I'm so used to finding in Holly Black's YA work. Still it was well written and probably would be enjoyed by younger readers.
