Bo the little skeleton woke up in his dusty attic in Spooky Hollow. Clickety-clack, he stretched. 'Good morning, world! What do skeletons say before dinner? Bone appΓ©tit!' A tiny spider in the corner giggled. Bo grinned.

Then Bo looked at his left elbow. Oh no! There was a tiny gap where his funny bone should be. 'My funny bone is missing!' he gasped. Bo felt worried. 'That's where all my best jokes come from!'

'I'll retrace my steps,' Bo decided, creaking down the stairs. A sleepy little ghost yawned. 'What do you call a skeleton who won't get out of bed?' said Bo. 'Lazy bones!' The ghost cackled. Bo blinked. 'Hmm, I wonder...'

Bo stopped at a crossroads. Should he check the Pumpkin Patch, where he played yesterday morning? Or the Hollow Bakery, where he got his afternoon treat?
