Assessment Epithetical Books Doll Bones

How have I never seen this book before? Ugh, I hate me.Doll Bones was such a fun book to listen to! Maybe it's my love for anything written by Holly Black but I was geeking out when I saw that this book was available to listen to! Even if dolls scare the crap out of me. Heck, even the characters were interesting and lovable throughout the entire book. I really liked getting to know Zach, Alice, and Poppy. The only thing that creeped me out was the freaking queen. Lord, she was so creepy and I

Zach, Poppy and Alice are friends who have known each other for ever. The three love coming up with awesome stories and to play them out with their action figure toys. Their current story follows pirate William the Blade and his ally the thief Lady Jaye on a quest for The Queen, played by an ancient china doll. When they reach a point when William the Blade is about to find out the truth about his past, the unthinkable happens: Zachs father throws away all of his action figures because according

Doll Bones is not just a story about a doll possessed by a ghost. It's not just a story about three kids going to an adventure to bury a dead girl's remains. It is a story about pirates sailing unto endless quests, mermaids asking for sacrifices, dangerous dukes, thieves, and the changes and choices everyone has to go through growing up. It reminded me so much of my own childhood, making up worlds and adventures in my own backyard, inventing ghosts rattling outside the window, and being both

I read this to my 9-year-old son and we both loved it. He loved the adventure, I loved how Black so perfectly captured that age just before adolescence.As an adult, I think we forget sometimes how scary it was being a kid and realizing that growing up means putting away your toys and venturing off into the unknown of dating and adolescence.The kids in this book are so fun and the parents were also incredibly well-crafted.Then there is the ghost story, that was spooky enough to keep our interest

While this was an interesting read and even a bit creepy, it didn't completely grab me like I'd hoped it would. The romance in this book felt so out of place and unnecessary. It didn't do anything for me and I didn't find that it did anything for the plot. I also felt like the pacing of this book seemed a bit off. I am happy that I took the time to read this, but to me it just wasn't anything spectacular.

Another Holly Black weird success. If I was younger I would have probbaly rated it higher, but it was for a pretty young audience: Middle grade/Teen age. I love the idea of the dolls and the way that the friends bond together over their game. A fun little holly black style adventure for sure!

Zach, Poppy, and Alice have been playing make-believe for as long as they've been friends.

Doll Bones doesn't shy away from the macabre and there are
