![]() ![]() I loved the protagonist of the Bone Garden, aptly named Irréelle (' Unreal'). Spooky, scary, perfect for a camp cabin or a sleepover story sharing. What a flight of imagination! A truly original story. Recommended for those looking for a light fantasy/magical realism tale. This was a great little mystery, filled with magic and the macabre. What is she trying to make, what is all her research for? And why is she so obsessed with finding an unmarked grave? Suddenly she is finding out secrets about Miss Vesper. So Irreele flees, and in doing so meets two others like herself. When Irreele’s clumsiness finally pushes Miss Vesper over the edge, she threatens to ‘unmake’ her. Her life is spent collecting bone dust from the graveyard known as The Bone Garden, which Miss Vesper uses for her creations and research. She lives with Miss Vesper, the only companion she has ever known. She is slightly misshapen and therefore awkward. ![]() Irreele is made from bone dust and imagination. You are a figment of my imagination, tethered here by the finest thread.” “Remember, my dear, you do not really and truly exist. Certainly not as creepy as I expected from that ghoulish cover! ![]()
