Fall is in the air in the Día de los Muertos-inspired world of Skeletown! Skully and Skelly are raking leaves and trekking to school amid the brisk autumn wind, so it's time to cozy up with a big sweater that Abuela just knitted--that is, until their cat Lulu grabs the yarn and begins unraveling it, leading the crew on a wild chase through the busy streets of Skeletown, in this exciting story told using only two words!
With dynamic, neon art that pops off the pages, a completely unique approach to storytelling, and a wildly appealing (but not scary!) cast of calavera characters from the fantastical world of Skeletown, here's a rambunctious romp that will inspire giggles with Spanish and English readers alike!
