<b>A #1 <i>New York Times</i> bestseller!<br> A Kirkus Book Prize Finalist!<br> A <i>New York Times</i> Best Children's Chapter Book the Year<br> A <i>Wall Street Journal</i> Best Children's Book of the Year<br> <br> Caldecott Medalist and <i>New York Times</i> best-selling author-illustrator Jon Klassen delivers a deliciously macabre treat for folktale fans.</b><br> <br> 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--<i>The Skull</i> is as empowering as it is mysterious and foreboding.
