The Robe of Skulls is a thrilling adventure filled with fairy-tale archetypes, including a bad prince, a beautiful but nasty stepsister, a brave little girl named Gracie, and a talking bat.

Lady Lamorna, an aging sorceress, sets off to buy a grotesque gown while Marlon the bat rescues Gracie from her cellar prison and leads her into the wilderness.

Meanwhile, Prince Marcus is turned into a frog by Lady Lamorna's spell, but the crones keep him safe.

This charmingly witty adventure is full of humorously macabre illustrations in black and white, making it a scream to read! Grades 3-5.
