"The birds screeched ...in warning but she knew she just had to touch it - the very symbol of death." There are strange things in Shadow Woods-things that are more than they appear-and they're waiting for Rhea. When she retreats into the woods, as she often does to escape the atmosphere at home and the bullying at school, she stumbles across a glowing skull. Despite spine-tingling warnings to leave it be, her hand is drawn toward it. Something awakens in her after she takes the skull from Shadow Woods, something both exciting and frightening, that she can't control. Adam, a boy who is quickly becoming a friend, tries to help her, but Rhea continues to add bones to her collection with weird and disturbing consequences . . . "I couldn't put it down. It's amazing. 'Bonegirl' was a mixture of reality and a bit of magic too. Also I could picture it all in my head. I wouldn't change a thing!" Leia Britton - beta reader (Age 10)
