What is Doll Bones about?

Zach, Poppy and Alice have spent years creating adventures with their toys, but their latest game feels frighteningly real. Poppy believes the Queen, a mysterious bone-china doll kept in her house, is haunted by the spirit of Eleanor, a girl who died long ago. When the doll demands to be buried, the three friends set off on a secret journey to a distant cemetery. Along the way, they must face strange clues, family worries and the possibility that the ghost is telling the truth.
