Summary

• Zach, Poppy, and Alice are best friends, that play action figures together everyday after school. Zach’s dad thinks Zach is to old to be playing action figures, so he throws all of Zach’s action figures away. Poppy and Alice start to drift away from Zach. The action figure game they used to play included a queen that was made out of actually human bones. In Poppy’s dreams, the Queen has been haunting her. The Queen wants to be buried in Ohio by a willow tree. Poppy finds out that in the middle of the doll is ashes of a girl. Poppy wakes up Zach and Alice and tells them the plan to help the Queen get buried. They grab food and other tools, get bus passes and jump on the bus to Ohio. Read Doll Bones to find out what happens to Poppy, Zach, Alice and the Queen. Find out what problems and adventures they go through. P.S. Don’t read it right before you go to bed.
