In a big abandoned house, on a barren hill, lives a skull. A brave girl named Otilla has escaped from terrible danger and run away, and when she finds herself lost in the dark forest, the lonely house beckons. Her host, the skull, is afraid of something too, something that comes every night. Can brave Otilla save them both? Steeped in shadows and threaded with subtle wit--with rich, monochromatic artwork and an illuminating author's note--\u003ci\u003eThe Skull\u003c\/i\u003e is as empowering as it is mysterious and foreboding.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJon Klassen\u003c\/b\u003e is the creator of the #1 \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e bestselling \u003ci\u003eI Want My Hat Back\u003c\/i\u003e, which received a Theodor Seuss Geisel Honor, and its companions, \u003ci\u003eThis Is Not My Hat\u003c\/i\u003e, which won a Caldecott Medal and a Kate Greenaway Medal, and \u003ci\u003eWe Found a Hat\u003c\/i\u003e, named a \u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e Best Children's Book of the Year.
