"BLACK, Holly. Doll Bones. illus. by Eliza Wheeler. S & S/McElderry. 2013. ISBN 9781416963981. JLG Level: B+ : Upper Elementary & Junior High (Grades 5-7). A tragic mistake causes a chain of events forcing Zach, Poppy, and Alice on a journey to return a possessed doll to her final resting place. Traveling miles from home, the three adventurers face real danger, far removed from the innocent role-playing games of elementary school. Creepy, but not too scary, even upper grade elementary students will want to read Black's newest ghost tale. After reading the book, share and discuss the short video Alma (Fil'm Hafızası, 2009), a film short in which much is left to the imagination of the viewer. You could also pair this title with The Friendship Doll by Kirby Larson (Delacorte, 2011) and Ann M. Martin's series "The Doll People" (Hyperion). Check out the Doll Bones book trailer, the author's website (where you can also read chapter one), the Carnegie Public Library (check out the area myths and legends under Local History) and of course, the Museum of Ceramics in East Liverpool, Ohio. Black used the article on Lotus Ware to shape her story of Orchid Ware."
