Their friendship might be over, until Poppy declares she’s been having dreams about the Queen-and the ghost of a girl who will not rest until the bone-china doll is buried in her empty grave. Zach’s father pushes him to give up make-believe, and Zach quits the game. Ruling over all is the Great Queen, a bone-china doll cursing those who displease her.īut they are in middle school now. And for almost as long, they’ve been playing one continuous, ever-changing game of pirates and thieves, mermaids and warriors. Zach, Poppy, and Alice have been friends forever.
