Skeleton Keys: The Unimaginary Friend: 1 (Skeleton Keys (1))

Product Information

A fabulous, rip roaring, funny, touching, clever story. It is made nigh on perfect by Pete Williamson’s wonderful illustrations. The book just wouldn’t be the same without them. Like many children, Ben has an imaginary friend, but unlike most children, Ben’s friend comes to life; he is no longer imaginary; he is UNimaginary. Arriving shortly behind him, is Skeleton Keys, whose job is to capture and contain all dangerous unimaginary creatures. Ben assures Skeleton Keys that his new friend is not dangerous; but there are other unimaginary creatures who are! Of course, they need to work together to capture them. I love it, it's cute and creepy with a very endearing monster and some wonderfully horrible characters. G reetings! My name is Skeleton Keys and these fantabulant fingers of mine can open doors to hidden worlds…

The Skeleton Key is a dark, compelling tale that takes you into the lives of two families, Churcher and Lally, who have been tied together over the last fifty years by the successful publication of the treasure quest book, The Golden Bones. A book, whose success is now being honoured with a documentary film and a special edition release which has prompted the resurgence of all the crazed obsessive fans, also known as the “bone hunters” who are determined to discover all of the bones scattered across England, led to all the family members being reunited under one roof in a very long time, and caused all the secrets and skeletons that have been buried under lies and deception for many years to finally be unearthed and uncovered.The characters are superbly portrayed. Who could not love and admire Nell for abandoning the claustrophobic craziness and striking out on her own? Or Dom for becoming the quintessential 'city boy' in retaliation to his parents loose and louche lifestyle? Het verhaal zelf is heel spannend opgebouwd. De hoofdstukken zijn net lang genoeg en na ieder stuk word je getriggerd om verder te gaan lezen. Naast de spannende en griezelige stukken, heb je ook heel wat grappige stukjes om te lezen. En die maken dat je zonder schrik je bed gaat opzoeken.

In this case, a treasure hunt book that's now 50 years old, involves a quest to re-assemble a skeleton, has a world-wide, obsessive fan base, and has shaped the lives of two close families—one the author/illustrator's, the other his best friend's.

Since finishing this book I've been thinking how to voice my admiration for the author. I don't like rehashing the story because that's what blurbs are for, but I really do want to write down how this book made me feel after finishing it. Grappig detail is dat de schrijver en de illustrator zich voorstellen achteraan het boek, helemaal in de tekenstijl die je doorheen het boek terugvindt. Zelfs de vertaalster krijgt een eigen pagina, want zij mag zeker ook extra in het daglicht geplaatst worden. This is my favourite book out of the whole series and I recommend everyone to read the whole series! My favourite character is Luna Moon.... It's very difficult to review such a multi-layered, well-plotted mystery without giving anything away, Let’s just say that it’s a story about fame, greed and family secrets. A LOT of dark family secrets. As an added bonus, the book also contained two of my favourite themes: a story based on an old legend, plus a “book within a book”. Guy Bass grew up dreaming of being a superhero - he even had a Spider-Man costume. The costume doesn't fit anymore, so Guy now contents himself with writing and drawing the occasional picture.

Greetings! To the imaginary and the unimaginary! To the living, the dead and everyone in between, my name is Keys… Skeleton Keys. And these fantabulant fingers of mine can open doors to hidden worlds and secret places … doors to the limitless realm of all the imagination.” It’s Summer 2021 and also the 50th anniversary of the book “the Golden Bones” written by Frank Churcher. The book consists of pictures, part story and also a treasure hunt for fans of the book. Nell has been told to come home and celebrate with the family. And also, the launch of an app to coincide with the book and help them in a quest find the last of the missing bones. Erin Kelly’s He Said/She Said was one of the first thriller ARCs I received. I devoured that book, and I’ll never forget it. Ever since, I try to catch all her new releases, so of course I was excited to add The Skeleton Key to my TBR.I loved every word of this, my first book by Erin Kelly, and I will definitely be reading more from this author. Who hasn't wondered what a certain key in their set of keys might actually be for? A long forgotten desk drawer, a cupboard, a gate, a long lost door? Well, the narrator and reader's companion of this story (Skeleton Keys), has 10 keys (instead of fingers), and he knows exactly where they will take him - it might be places you'd rather not go! Keys open gateways to possibilities, and this story is full of them. The main protagonist, Ben, who is ten years old, struggles through life with no friends, apart from those of his imagination (the Gorblimey and Daisy). The central theme to the book is friendship, one that all children will need to deal with at some point: Who should he trust? Will his friends come to his birthday party? Why does his dad struggle to believe him so much? What should you do about a friend who makes the wrong choices? Can he rescue his kidnapped friend? Ben can’t believe it when his imaginary friend the Gorblimey becomes unimaginary. The Gorblimey is loyal, kind … and real! But there's another unimaginary friend in town and that spells big trouble for Ben, the Gorblimey, and Skeleton Keys himself... When Skeleton Keys banishes Wordy Gerdy from the present using his Key to Time, he thinks he’s seen the last of the troublesome unimaginary. But Gerdy uses her ghostly pen to wreak her revenge, and before Skeleton Keys knows it she’s written his precious keys out of existence.

It has everything I need from a story: a wonderful, twisted plot, interesting characters and dozens of little things I as a reader can identify with. I just love treasure hunts but I wouldn’t go so far as the Bonehunters in this story and become a stalker or let this hunt ruin my marriage. It’s absolutely fascinating to read, very cleverly done and beautifully written. I’m sure I will read more of Erin Kelly’s books. But as Ben battles to save his new friend from Oblivion, the Gorblimey is soon the least of Skeleton Keys’ worries. For strange things happen when imaginations run wild and it seems that there’s more than one unimaginary in town. And the other unimaginary is definitely dangerous and out for revenge… Graphic Novels for Reluctant Readers: 33 Titles". Library Journal. Archived from the original on 1 January 2013 .
