The book Doll Bones, by Holly Black appears interesting, but is overhyped by the KCLS "teen zone" page. While presented as a horror story about three preteens setting out to bury a doll filled with the ashes of a dead girl, the lack of actual horror is astounding. However, what Black manages to do nicely is how she rocks the structure of this group of friends during their quest, and the fact that she did actual research adds to the verisimilitude of her story. However, the lack of anything remotely chilling or exciting about the story detracts from it's charm. Personally, I'd hand it to a third grader, maybe a fourth grader. Not a teen.
