Inside waits a skull - who has a secret of its own. Together, they face the shadows that arrive each night... and discover the strength that comes from courage and kindness.
With Klassen's signature dry humour, hauntingly beautiful illustrations and a touch of deliciously spooky fun, The Skull is ideal for kids who like their stories mysterious but not too scary.
