Notes From Your Bookseller

It's no surprise that we love Jon Klassen. You can line up all of his projects, and we'd gleefully spend the day trying to rank which is best (and then go back and rearrange that list). So when he has a new project, our baseline is unbridled enthusiasm. However, after being slowly teased out by the Caldecott Medalist on social media in 2019, The Skull opens a new chapter of our Klassen fandom. This Klassenian retelling of a Tyrolean folktale will satisfy your storytime needs, and his author's note will open your mind to the beautifully mysterious world you didn't know you needed to explore.

Winner of the 2024 Audie Award for Young Listeners

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, The Skull is as empowering as it is mysterious and foreboding.
