Description
Ruby's thirteenth birthday wish comes true in an unexpected way: she discovers that her adoptive parents are not her real ones. Determined to find her biological family, Ruby embarks on a journey into the forest with only a suitcase and the companionship of her imaginary friend, the Shadow Boy. She finds herself among a group of siblings living alone in the woods, who take her in but may need her more than she needs them. As Ruby navigates this new world, it becomes increasingly difficult to distinguish reality from fantasy. With shifting timelines and multiple perspectives, the truth about Ruby's past and her place in the present begins to unravel. A gripping tale of family, identity, and belonging, The Doll Funeral is a thought-provoking exploration of what it means to be found and lost at the same time. With its unique narrative structure and suspenseful plot, this novel will keep you guessing until the very end.
