"There's something deeply comforting about being led by the hand through the weird, wild, and downright bizarre by a pigtailed skeleton girl. I can think of no better book upon whom to bestow the phrase 'otherworldly charm'. Tim Burton-meets-Coco, and it's all thanks to the in-between world's most charming little skeleton." - Betsy Bird

"With vibrant illustrations, Skeletina and the In-Between World brings children to a whimsical place where they can allay their fears and anxieties alongside a playful new friend, Skeletina.

A must read for all families and kids." - Anna Maria Chavez, Former CEO, Girl Scouts of America
