Cindy must navigate middle school and a skeleton curse while coping with the death of her mother.
When a shift in seasons threatens the Kingdom of Wintersend, Callie - a pegacorn afraid of flying - must choose between playing it safe and saving her kingdom.
Middle school is scary. So are skeleton girls. To win at both, you'll have to put some skin in the game. Cindy might appear to be your average twelve year old, but since her mother's death she has a secret. Every night she turns into a boney, white skeleton. As if that wasn't bad enough, Cindy's dad is afraid of her. She has an evil stepmother who makes her do crazy chores, some of them with a toothbrush. And then there's the wild dog with intentions of making Cindy his midnight snack. The Spring Fling dance is fast approaching and Ethan, the cutest boy in sixth grade, doesn't seem to know Cindy exists. She doesn't think letting Ethan know she's a cursed skeleton-girl is the best way to introduce herself. Determined to break the curse, Cindy travels to the Underworld where things aren't quite what they seem, including Mr. Death, the strange and creepy undertaker. With a jar of pickled pig's feet, a wacky fortuneteller, and a cranky skeleton mouse, Cindy is afraid this curse has really gotten under her skin.
A mother rabbit and her busy little bunny experience the activity of a typical day while learning it's the little things and tender moments that truly matter most.

"Sarah White is gorgeous even if she is a little bit rotten. A mirror arrives on her twelfth birthday and she thinks it's the perfect gift. But when an innocent game of laser tag gets out of hand, the mirror swallows her whole! Sarah finds herself in the dead center of the Underworld. As if repeated run-ins with Mr. Death weren't bad enough, Sarah now has to deal with her decaying flesh and sudden craving for brains. Not to mention she keeps having brain freezes, all due to the seven worms living in her head. Of corpse, by the time Sarah escapes the Underworld, she finds her new zombie life less than appetizing. Even worse, she needs to return to the Underworld to save her friends, Cindy and Scarlet. With a poisoned apple, a crow named Raven, and a glowing necklace, Sarah sets off to rescue her friends. If she doesn't succeed, she's sure she'll be a brain-craving zombie forever. And that's more dead-ication than she's willing to accept."--Back cover

Chapter 1 provides an introduction to the related constructs and history of social p...
