Praise
* “Elegantly designed, this collaboration shows a great respect for children’s sensibilities regarding the fine lines between fear, fun and bravery. This title should be at the top of the book pile come autumn.”—Kirkus Reviews, Starred Review
“Perfect for trick-or-treaters who can take some honest-to-gosh spooking, Bauer’s simple story involves a boy who exits his safe neighborhood to seek treats in the woods. There he finds a forest made of bones—a breathtaking, intricate creation by Shelley, featuring trunks of fibulas and scapulas and branches of grasping fingers. . . . this is just the sort of thing that sears itself into young brains.”—Booklist
“In this creepy Halloween tale, a trick-or-treater leaves the safety of town on All Hallow’s Eve to find treats in a forest of bones. Bat, cat, and rat bones crawl among tree bones. The illustrations capture the spooky feel while not straying too far into the scary . . . “—School Library Journal
