From School Library Journal
Grade 4-7–The girl and dog from Skelly the Skeleton Girl (S & S, 2007) are back for another spooky story. This time, the inhabitants of the haunted house are missing several items–Femur's bone, Skelly's buttons, some spoons, an umbrella, dishes, and a rusty anchor. They hear strange noises in the attic and discover that a mouse dressed as a mad scientist has used their belongings to invent a cheese-making machine. He invites them to share his creation, and they all make a new friend. As in the first book, Pickering's mixed-media illustrations feature a black and purple color scheme with Tim Burton-esque characters and a setting that may appeal to children who like to get a little bit scared. Although there isn't much of a story, this book will probably appeal to fans of the previous outing.–Martha Simpson, Stratford Library Association, CT
