Defying her creator for the very first time, Irréelle flees to the underside of the graveyard and embarks on an adventure to unearth the mysterious magic that breathes bones to life, even if it means she will return to dust and be no more.

When Irréelle makes one final, unforgivable mistake by destroying a frightful creature just brought to life, Miss Vesper threatens to imagine her away once and for all.

Worst of all, she is unmindful of her crooked bones. She is slow returning from the dark passages beneath the cemetery. Irréelle is forgetful as she gathers bone dust. But for all her efforts to please her cruel creator, the thread is unravelling. Only the finest magical thread tethers her to life-and to Miss Vesper. Made of dust and bone and imagination, Irréelle fears she's not quite real. A dark, compelling fantasy for readers of The Graveyard Book about a mysterious girl seeking the truth about the magic that brought her to life.
