Exceptional book
I saw this book at the library . Started to read I could not put it down . There is a deep meaning behind the story . It helped me mentally figure out how our life struggles took us apart to thrive in this world . Love this book so much .

Not your typical folktale
Illustrations are great, the story is a typical with a very unexpected ending. It made me chuckle.

A darker, but funny tale
Jon Klassen has a bit of a dry and dark humor when it comes to his stories. This one is a tad bit darker than his other works (like This is not my hat and I want my hat back) so probably read through it before giving it to a younger kid if you're worried. The story is about a young girl, Otilla, who meets a skull living alone in an old, abandoned house. The unlikely pair become friends and Otilla protects her new friend from the danger that visits him nightly. Overall it's a weird and wacky story with a bit of a darker ending, but worth a read

Dark
This was a very very strange read. It’s dark and disturbing. At the end the author explains that he heard this story in a library in Alaska and when he went to re-read it was different than he remembered. The story’s original ending sounds much nicer for a child’s book than this one. I will put this one on the shelf till my kids are in middle school.
