(Juvenile First Chapter Books - J-FC Klassen)
A brave girl named Otilla runs away and finds an abandoned mansion in the woods. There, she meets a talking skull hiding from something spooky that visits the house each night. Jon Klassen’s illustrations create a somber and eerie atmosphere, and his sparse writing allows the reader to imagine their own explanations for the mysteries within this old folktale. Recommended for ages 6–9.
