Irish independent 'The Best Spooky and Sweet Autumn Reads for Children' "Children and adults alike will be captivated and uplifted by this book that is particularly perfect for spooky season - and ideal for newly-independent readers." The Scotsman From Jon Klassen, Caldecott Medalist and bestselling creator of This Is Not My Hat , comes a wonderfully eerie yet gentle Halloween story perfect for ages 6-9.

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. Parents can feel reassured: while this gothic folktale has a shiver of creepiness, it ends with strength, empowerment and a reminder that even the strangest friendships can be the most comforting. Perfect for: - Independent readers ages 6-9 - Families looking for a suspenseful but not-too-scary read-aloud - Fans of spooky folktales with a twist of wit and charm
