Skeleton Keys #3
Skeleton Keys: The Legend of Gap-Tooth Jack
The third tall-but-true tale in the darkly comic series SKELETON KEYS from the award-winning duo behind STITCH HEAD.
Greetings! My name is Skeleton Keys and these fantabulant fingers of mine can open doors to hidden worlds… Join me for the curious tale of Gap-tooth Jack – thief, adventurer and champion of imagining!
When Skeleton Keys banishes Wordy Gerdy from the present using his Key to Time, he thinks he’s seen the last of the troublesome unimaginary. But Gerdy uses her ghostly pen to wreak her revenge, and before Skeleton Keys knows it she’s written his precious keys out of existence.
Skeleton Keys and his partner Daisy must follow Gerdy into the past to retrieve her pen and make her restore his keys. But Skeleton Keys has unknowingly sent Gerdy back to his own past and her pen is now in the hands of notorious thief Gap-tooth Jack. As they set off to find Jack, Skeleton Keys can’t help noticing that everything looks strangely familiar. Then he comes face to face with the thief – could it be that the two have met before?

I absolutely love Daisy! This book was a bit different yet whimsical and full of adventures like the previous ones.
ps. The last chapter has a special place in my heart.

“I really liked it but it’s called The Legend of Gap-tooth Jack but he’s not really a character, it’s just Emily pretending to be Gap-tooth Jack but Emily is a girl. It is misleading. I really liked the monsters. Daisy in this book has got a grin on her face...like all books, she always has a huge grin on her face.” - Nora, 5Y old
