<h2><em><em>Bonebag</em></em></h2><p><strong><strong>In this riveting middle-grade fantasy, </strong></strong><em><strong><strong>New York Times</strong></strong></em><strong><strong> bestselling author David Elliott and E.M.

However, he feels deep in his bones that things weren’t always this way: he has known happiness before. Why does it feel like it was in a past life?<br><br>When Bonebag discovers a locket that burns him to the touch, and a ghostly girl beckons him into the deep woods, he must grapple with the riddle of where he came from and how he came to be. Only then can he begin to rewrite his fate.<br><br>From <em><em>New York Times </em></em>bestselling author David Elliott and his son, E.M.
