Doll Bones

De: Holly Black

Narrado por: Nick Podehl

A doll that may be haunted leads three friends on a thrilling adventure in this delightfully creepy novel from the New York Times best-selling cocreator of the Spiderwick Chronicles.

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?

Great way to spend time with my daughter.

Scary yet beautiful story

My expectations were met

I didn't really like the narrator because he was kinda phony. Thanks!😎

A Creepy Adventure!

What made the experience of listening to Doll Bones the most enjoyable?

Not quite knowing if the ghost was real or not, and in the end, leaving it up the reader to decide.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Poppy.

The characters in Doll Bones reminded me a lot of myself when I was there age. While I was never into action figures, preferring to act out stories with my body, my friends and I were always played by making up worlds and stories. I was the oldest of the group, but like Poppy, I never gave those stories up. My friends changed, becoming interested in boys and while I pretended to be like them, my mind was always lost in a story, and it still is, only now I write my stories since adults never want to play unless it's LARP or cosplay, and those games have too many rules. Plus, I've always been a bit of a loner.

What about Nick Podehl’s performance did you like?

He had a great range of voices, making them all sound unique.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes, but there wasn't time for that.

amazing

What a great read this book is truly amazing I love of so much u need to listen to it if you haven't already!

The creepiness

I like how the person read it I didn’t really like that. It was so short because it was such a good book.

cute

Love Holly Black as an author and after reading The Darkest Part Of The Forest I was excited to read another book of hers. this was cute. a tad spooky at times as well.

it was ok

it was a good story although I was left with a feeling of needing more.

Good Story ok quality

I enjoyed the story and Nick Pedehl was awesome as the narrarator but their was occasional skipping thst became more frequent towards the end of the story.

Good and sweet book, but...

I loved this book! But the beginning could be better. I read this book for school and I was so bored at the beginning that I didn’t start it until a couple weeks before school. But then it got more and more interesting and I got hooked! All and all it would be 4.5

great

loved it, the book was great, the narrator was very clear, and it was overall very enjoyable.

It's good

I would suggest this book to people like a class or just a person amazing!!
