Doll Bones
“HE DOVE.
When he was a little kid, his mom had taken him to swimming classes at the YMCA. He remembered the bleachy smell of the chlorine and the feel of the orange swimmies inflated too tightly against his upper arms and the way all the kids’ shouting bounced off the ceiling to echo. And he remembered how to kick like a frog. He kicked now, over and over, toward the Queen, reaching for her, opening his eyes in the murky brown river.His fingers closed on a scrap of her dress. Striking his other hand out hard, he caught her arm and hauled her to him. For a moment the cold deadweight of her small china body seemed warm against his. Before he could think too much about that, he was swimming toward the surface. His head broke through the waves, and he sucked in a grateful lungful of air. His whole body was shaking with cold. His teeth chattered. His toes had gone numb. Behind him, Poppy and Alice were fighting, but it was hard to focus on their words.Then the wake of the barge hit, the wa...ves sending him under again, this time without him holding his breath.MoreLess

This was a great book. It was about friendship, adventure, trust and about a little girl that died. Wonderful story, easy to read and well written

I know these people. Seems they were actually locked in mailboxes and glass China doll cases. The boat at the beginning had me confused as to where and why they chose that spot to play with G.I. Joe figurines though. Was there a battleship taking place? Why is there a queen in the middle of that war?
