![]() ![]() ![]() With echoes of Neil Gaiman's The Graveyard Book, debut author Heather Kassner's The Bone Garden is a gorgeously written story humming with magic, mystery, and dark imaginings. Defying her creator for the very first time, Irreelle flees to the underside of the graveyard and embarks on an adventure to unearth the mysterious magic that breathes bones to life, even if it means she will return to dust and be no more. When Irreelle makes one final, unforgivable mistake by destroying a frightful creature just brought to life, Miss Vesper threatens to imagine her away once and for all. Worst of all, she is unmindful of her crooked bones. She is slow returning from the dark passages beneath the cemetery. Irreelle is forgetful as she gathers bone dust. ![]() But for all her efforts to please her cruel creator, the thread is unraveling. Only the finest magical thread tethers her to life - and to Miss Vesper. "This magical story - and the brave girl in its pages - will haunt you in the best way." (Natalie Lloyd, New York Times best-selling author of Over the Moon) "Remember, my dear, you do not really and truly exist." Irreelle fears she's not quite real. A spooky and adventurous fantasy debut about a girl made of dust and bone and imagination who seeks the truth about the magic that brought her to life. ![]()
