Description: "This clever tale hits all the right notes." -- Publishers Weekly "A playfully dramatic adventure with swashbuckling kids, mountain hermits, avalanche sledding and circus bears. Stratton's prose is artistic, clever and funny." -- Kirkus Reviews "Fans of Philip Pullman's Clockwork and Ken Oppel will delight in Stratton's wit and zest, and his jokes, twists, ghosts, wolves, prophecies and gothic tropes." -- The Times (London) "Readers who like their fairy tales packed with action and happy endings will want to add this to their collection." -- Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books "The Graverobber's Apprentice is a tale told with sound and furious action--chock full of villainous villains, heroic heroes (and heroines), and moments of absolute hilarity. Stratton is a master at his craft and he's given this story a heart of gold." -- Arthur Slade, author of The Hunchback Assignments "A rollicking and enchanting fairy tale for the 21st century." -- Kenneth Oppel, author of the Airborne trilogy and Silverwing series "A fun read." -- School Library Journal
