Book ID/图书代码： 12311011B47057
English Summary/英文概要： Sally is a quirky character who loves Death Rock and faded blue jeans. She fits in better with the Addams Family than with a clique of catty sixth grade girls. After her mother’s death, grief-stricken Sally begs for death...and death is exactly what she gets: a tail-wagging skeleton dog called Bones. A gift from beyond the grave, Bones is a dreadfully delicious girl’s best friend In this cleverly written, alliterative tale the neighborhood’s dog treats go missing and everyone blames Bones. Sally must solve the mystery to save her cadaverous canine from puppy prison.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： Sally性格古怪，喜欢死亡摇滚和褪色的牛仔裤。她和六年级的女孩子们格格不入，倒是更适合生活在哥特家庭里。在她的母亲过世之后，悲伤的Sally也想一死了之——她得到了自己想要的东西：一条不断摇尾巴的骷髅狗，名字叫Bones。这是来自坟墓的礼物。Bones是一个躺在坟墓中的小姑娘的好朋友。在这本精妙的故事里，住在附近的狗一条条地失踪了，大家都觉得是Bones搞的鬼。Sally要揭开这个谜，这样才能将她的宠物从狗狗监狱里拯救出来。（LYR）
Awards/获奖情况：一个孤独的小女孩得到了一个来自亡魂世界的礼物，从此找到了一个活下去的理由。让人忍不住大笑的墓志铭、短小精悍的文字、错综复杂的情节和充满同情心的女主人公，加起来就是一次让人无比愉快的阅读体验。黑白点的骷髅狗Bones很有性格和想法。这是一本有点英雄主义但又很有奇幻色彩的故事，好像Tim Burton那些奇幻片一样，讲述了悲伤、欺骗和救赎的故事。（Kirkus Reviews 15.08.11）Poised to give up the ghost, a lonely little girl finds a reason to live when she discovers a canine crony with a graveyard past.
With her “blunt-bobbed hair,” “chalky white skin” and Tone Death concert T-shirts, Sally Simplesmith doesn’t fit in with her pretty-in-pink sixth-grade Merryland Middle School classmates. After ultra-popular Viola Vanderperfect deliberately excludes her from everything, outcast Sally feels, well, “cast out.” Lying on her mother’s grave, Sally desperately longs for death. Instead, she gets Bones, a “bright-smiling, tail-wagging skeleton dog,” sent by her departed mother’s spirit. Bones becomes Sally’s best friend and savior. Her kind, but detached, father warns Sally to keep the “petrified pooch” a secret, but soon the “cadaverous canine” is exposed, and the “former social leper and her imperishable pet” become “overnight sensations.” When all neighborhood dog bones vanish, the D.C. (Dog Catcher) suspects Bones, forcing Sally to take drastic measures to exonerate him and uncover the real culprit. Could it be villainous Viola? Heavily tongue-in-cheek tombstone talk, snappy text, over-the-top melodrama plus a sympathetic heroine equal one hilarious read. Black-and-white spot art highlights skeletal Bones’ corporeal personality. A silly, deliberately histrionic but surprisingly suspenseful preteen tale of despair, deception and redemption with a canine character straight out of a Tim Burton flick. (Melodrama. 9-12) ---Kirkus Reviews 15.08.11
