Doll Bones by Holly Black

3.0

Zach, Poppy and Alice are best friends who spend their time playing an epic RPG featuring their favorite toys. There are pirates, thieves, and adventures galore, and it's all ruled over by The Queen, a creepy bone china doll that sits in a curio they are not allowed to open. When Zach's father throws away his action figures and tells him he's too old to be playing games like that, Poppy and Alice aren't the only ones who are disappointed. The Queen seems to be angry too...

A good choice for middle graders who want a creepy story, but it didn't quite do it for me.
