Sally’s Bones
Two months, twenty-eight days, nine hours and twelve minutes ago, Sally Simplesmith’s life changed forever. That was when she came face-to-face with death—a delightful, dearly departed little dog she lovingly calls Bones. But when the cadaverous canine is accused of a crime he didn’t commit, Sally must solve the case herself.
Does she have what it takes to fetch a thief?
Sally’s Bones is the impossibly possible tale of a girl, a crime and a falsely accused, lovably lifeless, decidedly dead dog.

“Heavily tongue-in-cheek tombstone talk, snappy text, over-the-top melodrama plus a sympathetic heroine equal one hilarious read… A silly, deliberately histrionic but surprisingly suspenseful preteen tale.”
—Kirkus
“Spooky without being scary, dark without being morbid, this is a winning tale about loyalty in the face of loss. Dog lovers and fans of storytellers like Neil Gaiman will adore sullen Sally and her dearly departed sidekick.”
