"Doll Bones" by Holly Black tells the story of three friends—Zach, Poppy, and Alice—who embark on a haunting adventure. When Poppy discovers a mysterious doll believed to be possessed by the spirit of a dead girl, the trio decides to return it to its grave. As they journey through their town, they confront their fears and the complexities of growing up. The line between reality and imagination blurs, forcing them to face their past and the bond of friendship. This haunting tale explores themes of loss, courage, and the transition from childhood to adolescence. [Generated by language model - please report any problems].
