But nothing goes according to plan, and as their adventure turns into an epic journey, creepy things begin to happen. Zach and Alice and Poppy set off on one last adventure to lay the Queens ghost to rest. Their friendship might be over, until Poppy declares shes been having dreams about the Queen-and the ghost of a girl who will not rest until the bone-china doll is buried in her empty grave. Zachs father pushes him to give up make-believe, and Zach quits the game. Ruling over all is the Great Queen, a bone-china doll cursing those who displease her. And for almost as long, theyve been playing one continuous, ever-changing game of pirates and thieves, mermaids and warriors. Zach, Poppy, and Alice have been friends forever. Six starred reviews!
