THE DOLL FUNERAL PB – KATE HAMER

My name is Ruby. I live with Barbara and Mick. They re not my real parents, but they tell me what to do, and what to say. But there are things I won t say. I won t tell them I m going to hunt for my real parents. I don t say a word about Shadow, who sits on the stairs, or the Wasp Lady I saw. Or that I m a hunter for lost souls. I m going to be with my real family. And I won t let anyone stop me.
