This is an old story. It is about a girl named Otilla who runs away. It is also about a house in the woods, and a skull who lives there, and a secret the skull has, and the night that Otilla finds out what that secret is.

Jon Klassen is the creator of one of the more popular books in our shop, I Want My Hat Back. He has garnered more awards than we care to list, and with The Skull, Klassen brings his gift for storytelling to this spooky adaptation of a traditional Tyrolean folktale.
