Skeleton Man

Skeleton Man is by Joseph Bruchac. One morning Molly wakes up and discovers her parents have disappeared. Social Services turn her over to a man she doesn't know who claims to be her uncle. Soon he begins to haunt her dreams and she realizes this man is not her uncle and he does not mean her any good. Can she escape his clutches and save her parents? This is a thoroughly creepy tale based on Native American mythology. If you liked The Dark Pond you'll love this multi-cultural fantasy as well.

Ratings: 6th grade - 9 out of 10.
