## Description

A #1 New York Times bestseller! A Kirkus Book Prize Finalist! A New York Times Best Children’s Chapter Book the Year A Wall Street Journal Best Children's Book of the Year Caldecott Medalist and New York Times best-selling author-illustrator Jon Klassen delivers a deliciously macabre treat for folktale fans. Jon Klassen's signature wry humor takes a turn for the ghostly in this thrilling retelling of a traditional Tyrolean folktale. In a big abandoned house, on a barren hill, lives a skull. A brave girl named Otilla has escaped from terrible danger and run away, and when she finds herself lost in the dark forest, the lonely house beckons. Her host, the skull, is afraid of something too, something that comes every night. Can brave Otilla save them both? Steeped in shadows and threaded with subtle wit—with rich, monochromatic artwork and an illuminating author’s note— The Skull is as empowering as it is mysterious and foreboding.

Review: Perfect Spooky Addition to Any Elementary Library - I bought this as someone who’s building a portion of my home library to being a “fun aunt,” this was a perfect addition. This is a perfect for early readers, there’s a lot to engage with when reading and a silliness in the spookiness that is so cute and endearing. I bought it for the art alone, but the story matches perfectly.
Review: Sweet story, lovely art. - This was a lovely story. Perfect for little ones who have a taste for ghost stories, but not too scary for sensitive ones. The theme about friendship is sweet but not didactic, and the art is lovely.
