Title : The Robe of Skulls

Submitted by : Natasha Zhuang Hisham
The story takes place on a island that has a freaky castle. Its very eerie and scary as it has dead trees and swamps with desserts in the middle of nowhere.. It is about this lady called Lady Lamorna and she has set her heart on a robe of skulls. She is the main character and there are other characters such as Mange (Gracie's mean father) , Foyce (Gracie's evil sister), Gracie( A kind and warm hearted girl ) Prince Marcus, Gubble (Lady Lamorna's servant for the past few hundred years) and Marlon and Millie ( 2 bats that helped Gracie ).
​
The wicked Lady Lamorna is short of cash and devises a cruel plan to generate income; her cunning plan is taken over by the even more cunning Foyce. At the same time Gracie escapes from her unpleasant home situation and meets Prince Marcus.
The prince sits unhappily amongst royal expectations, preferring the dusty library with its tomes of ancient stories and intriguing maps. Together Gracie and Marcus undo Lady Lamorna’s wicked plan. Foyce is led to the house of the Ancient Crones where she will serve out her punishment weaving until all her wickedness has dissolved away.
Whilst Lady Lamorna returns to her castle and receives the infamous robe of skulls. Gracie finds a new and happy home. Gubble the ill-treated servant of Lady Lamorna is replaced by Gracie’s unpleasant father, Mange.
So the novel contains both redemption and revenge, and of course, a happy ending for all the true-hearted. I liked this book a lot as its nice and i feel so excited whenever i continue reading this book, i would liked to have my friends reading this book as its very interesting and exciting.
