Skeleton Man
by Joseph Bruchac Illustrated by Sally Wern Comport
Molly remembers the Mohawk legend of a man so hungry he ate himself and everyone in his village, except for one brave girl. Now her parents have mysteriously disappeared, and an unknown great-uncle has shown up to claim her. He has fingers like talons and eyes like twin blue flames. Somehow Molly must escape to find her parents — because the Skeleton Man may be more than just a legend!
