Billy Bones: a tale from the secrets closet
Christopher Lincoln
The Bones Family lives in a dark closet, guarding the secrets and lies (little white ones and big whoppers) that belong to the hideous Biglums. But Little Billy Bones craves the excitement of the big wide world outside. Then Millicent, a new friendly Biglum, arrives at the mansion. And when a skeleton-boy with a hidden history meets a no-nonsense orphan girl with a nose for mysery, the truth is bound to burst out of the Secrets Closet. . .
Reviews
It was really sweet. It was about a nice skeleton and a girl called Millicent whose parents died.

Although typically not the style I would read, this book was utterly enjoyable: I found it to be almost a fairytale with a twist. It was filled with ghastly ghosts to horrific housekeepers, and (not-so) lovely lords with secretive spaces! Full of comedy, adventure and sadness, this book captivates both the joys of friendship and the sadness of losing one you love. Billy Bones, a skeleton boy, was always shut in his parents' secrets closet. Millicent was always visited by her dead parents a world apart. Two different lives, but about to meet. Forming a close friendship, he and Millicent venture beyond all boundaries, and discover the truth. Why is Billy a skeleton? What has happened to her parents, who have suddenly stopped visiting? And is Billy heir to a great fortune?
