Description: "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 playfully dramatic adventure with swashbuckling kids, mountain hermits, avalanche sledding and circus bears. Stratton's prose is artistic, clever and funny." - Kirkus Reviews "This clever tale hits all the right notes." - Publishers Weekly "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 "This cast of characters leaps from the pages and appears fascinatingly fresh. Stratton tells it all in language as rollicking as a song. He also slips in some important messages: the power of imagination; the redeeming quality of kindness; and no matter how dire the straits, the need to believe in happy endings." - Booklist (starred review) "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) "A fun read." - School Library Journal
