Summary
Winner of the 2025 Aurealis Award for Best Children’s Fiction, this unique and lyrical verse novel speaks to our childhood joy of collecting small, intriguing objects and creating connections in the most unlikely places.
Since the accident, eleven-year-old Bones spends her time drawing animal skeletons and scavenging for dead things to add to her collection. She’s drifted away from her friends and doesn’t want to make new ones, especially not with her chatty new neighbour, Tenny.
