Bookroo's summary

In a quirky, spooky world, Skelly, a curious skeleton girl, discovers a mysterious bone. Her quest to find its owner leads her to question a skeletal goldfish, man-eating plants, and a lurking monster. As she navigates this eerie landscape, Skelly uncovers secrets and forms unexpected friendships. Will she solve the mystery and find the bone's rightful owner?

From the publisher

Skelly, a little skeleton girl, finds a bone one day. Who could it belong to? As Skelly searches for the bone’s owner, she questions everyone from her skeletal goldfish, to her man-eating plants, to the monster who lives beneath the stairs. Finally, Skelly locates the bone’s owner–and makes a new friend. Rising talent Jimmy Pickering has created a mildly spooky and totally original cast of characters who populate Skelly’s Tim Burton-esque world.
