Skeleton Keys: The Unimaginary Friend: 1 (Skeleton Keys (1))

Product Information

Finally, the social media feeds that intersperse the narrative are acutely observed with comments that come from the land of the utterly ridiculous and your question where brains are! Alex wakes up in the Casa de Oro and meets with Sarov, who says he had known all about the cave, and he promises to tell Alex what he plans to do with him. A different type of fandom is examined in Erin Kelly’s latest: armchair treasure hunters, such as those obsessed over Kit Williams’s 1979 puzzle story book Masquerade.

Skeleton Keys by Riley Black (Brian Switek): 9780525539124

It's a suspenseful, obsession filled, intricately laid out story full of characters that are often not likable, certainly not trustworthy but always intriguing. When a travelling circus ringmaster, Fulbert Freakfinder, promises to make him a star, Stitch Head wonders whether there is another life for him . The Golden Bones was published in 1971 and it was the most ambitious, expensive picture book ever made.Luckily I had full trust that Kelly would not disappoint me (she never has in the past) and was soon totally hooked.

The relationship between Nell and Dom and that of Billie and Nell are the highlights of the story, in fact, the arc of each and every character in the book was brilliantly done.The central theme to the book is friendship, one that all children will need to deal with at some point: Who should he trust? There are some good jaw descending with a thunk moments especially as you come to appreciate how Nell’s life has been tainted. After the treasure hunt game which was based on Elinore’s story became a huge sensation, hopeless art student Frank turns into Sir Frank Churcher leading his readers to seven sites where jewels were buried: one by one, tiny golden bones were dug up until only Elinore’s pelvis remained hidden. Some scenes are lively and a bit mad but in the best possible way and I really enjoy their colourful nature.

I can’t say much more without giving things away, so I will leave it at this: do yourself a favour and pick up this clever mystery today to find out for yourself why I couldn’t put it down.Luna is the only one to mourn the death of her grandfather Old Man Moon – the rest of her family couldn’t be happier to see the back of the bad-tempered old miser.

As an added bonus, the book also contained two of my favourite themes: a story based on an old legend, plus a “book within a book”. With nail-biting excitement as well as laugh-out-loud moments, children will be queuing up to check in to the haunted hotel, Grave Grange. Alex attempts to escape the mansion by hiding in the boot of a car, but is caught by Sarov using a heartbeat detector.

I often pause at 20% of a book to kind of consolidate in my mind what I've read so far and, frankly, to decide whether it has grabbed me enough to make me want to read the other 80%. Whilst the story is mainly being told by Eleanor, the daughter of author Frank Churcher, we get small glimpses into the past and through different eyes, which reveal those pieces of the puzzle we may not have anticipated. The two CIA agents reluctantly reveal their suspicions and their plan to infiltrate Sarov's residence – the Casa de Oro - by scuba diving into a cave underneath the house that features a ladder formerly used by smugglers that leads to the grounds. It's very difficult to review such a multi-layered, well-plotted mystery without giving anything away, Let’s just say that it’s a story about fame, greed and family secrets. Ben Bunsen conjures up his imaginary friend (a friendly little ball of fur) so well that it becomes an "unimaginary".
