内容介绍

三个从小一起长大的好朋友——Zach,Poppy,和Alice，各有各的烦恼，却热衷于一个角色扮演的游戏，扮演海盗和贼，美人鱼和勇士……但支配一切的是Great Queen，一个会诅咒所有忤逆她的人的瓷娃娃。

当三个小伙伴进入中学后，Zack在爸爸的要求下退出了扮演游戏，他们的友谊也许到此就结束了。直到有一天Poppy告诉伙伴们，她梦到了Queen——一个女孩的灵魂，而Queen跟她说，除非瓷娃娃被安葬在她的空墓穴了，否则她永远都无法安息。

三个小伙伴开始了她们的最后一次探险，准备帮助这个女孩的灵魂得到安宁。但是奇怪的事情发生了，三个孩子到底遇到了什么？这个娃娃真的只是一个娃娃而已吗？如果Queen真的是鬼魂，她会如此容易地放这三个孩子离开吗？

故事如何发展，赶紧翻开书页跟三个小伙伴一起探险吧！

Discover the Newbery Honor winner Doll Bones, from Holly Black, the cocreator of the Spiderwick Chronicles. A Kirkus Reviews Best Book. A School Library Journal Best Book.

Zach, Poppy, and Alice have been friends forever. And for almost as long, they’ve been playing one continuous, ever-changing game of pirates and thieves, mermaids and warriors. Ruling over all is the Great Queen, a bone-china doll cursing those who displease her.

But they are in middle school now. Zach’s father pushes him to give up make-believe, and Zach quits the game. Their friendship might be over, until Poppy declares she’s been having dreams about the Queen—and the ghost of a girl who will not rest until the bone-china doll is buried in her empty grave.

Zach and Alice and Poppy set off on one last adventure to lay the Queen’s ghost to rest. But nothing goes according to plan, and as their adventure turns into an epic journey, creepy things begin to happen. Is the doll just a doll or something more sinister? And if there really is a ghost, will it let them go now that it has them in its clutches?

Doll Bones is a winner of the Newbery Honor, is the recipient of six starred reviews, was on five Best Book lists, and was called “perfect” by The New York Times.

媒体评论

本书每个转折都重置了介于童真与成熟、真实与谎言、保密与坦诚，以及魔法与疯狂之间那条模糊的界线。故事惊悚、忧伤、哀婉，终又带给读者无限希望，宛如一件精致小巧的珠宝。
