(2) 4-6 Illustrated by Matt Saunders. Iréelle, who looks human but was conjured from "bone dust," lives with cruel Miss Vesper by the graveyard, and longs to be real. With her friend Guy, also created by Miss Vesper, she searches for a mysterious unmarked grave, hoping that if she completes Miss Vesper's mission, she might be given the reward of a full, human life. More gothic than gory, this small-scale adventure features big stakes for the young heroes. Bone-chilling descriptions and enough ghastly moments will keep even the bravest young readers shivering--and entertained.
