Skeleanor loves music more than life itself. There’s just one problem: She has a bit more rattle than rhythm at the moment. No matter what type of instrument she plays — from the fiddle to the xylobone — she always seems to scare the people of Little Casketon away. But with the Little Casketon Summershine festival coming up, and the town band missing a player, maybe Skeleanor (along with the help of her best friend, Batima) could show people her skills and finally take center stage.
In this instantly charming and vivid chapter-book graphic novel music-obsessed skeleton, Skeleanor goes on a quest to find her sound (and her confidence) Hilarious and heartfelt, Skeleanor the Decomposer is a story about chasing your passions no matter what other people say. Sometimes, all you need is a dream, your friends, and a little music.
"Divided into short chapters, this boldly colored comic is lighthearted and silly. Skeleanor and Batima are adorable, lovable, and not at all spooky.... Puns and fun wordplay add to the appeal, while Skeleanor’s passion and determination will encourage readers to pursue their own dreams and embrace their uniqueness. A gentle, winning tale featuring the sweetest skeleton." — Kirkus Reviews
