In The Bone Houses, did you enjoy ...

... a clear, driving quest that shapes the plot?

The Girl Who Drank the Moon by Kelly Barnhill

If you loved how Ryn's urgent quest to protect her family and save her village drove the action in The Bone Houses, you'll be swept up by Luna's journey to uncover the truth about her magic and her past in The Girl Who Drank the Moon. Both stories blend folklore-inspired adventure with heart, keeping you turning pages to see if the characters can achieve their goals.

... well-developed female protagonists facing dangers both magical and human?

An Enchantment of Ravens by Margaret Rogerson

If you were drawn to Aderyn's strength, resilience, and resourcefulness in The Bone Houses, you'll find yourself captivated by Isobel in An Enchantment of Ravens. Isobel is an artist whose cleverness and courage are tested as she navigates a perilous fae realm, offering another unforgettable heroine at the heart of a richly magical journey.

... deeply atmospheric folklore-inspired worlds?

The Scorpio Races by Maggie Stiefvater

If you were enchanted by the Welsh-inspired setting and eerie, folkloric atmosphere of The Bone Houses, you'll be swept away by the windswept island and mythic water horses of The Scorpio Races. Both novels immerse you in landscapes infused with legend, danger, and the sense that ancient magic pulses just beneath the surface.

... detailed, haunting worldbuilding that brings a small village and its legends to life?

The Near Witch by Victoria Schwab

If the richly drawn forests, haunted graveyards, and small-town superstitions of The Bone Houses stayed with you, you'll love how The Near Witch conjures a similarly vivid sense of place. The town of Near is steeped in eerie legends and tangible magic, creating an immersive world that feels as alive—and haunted—as the story itself.

... protagonists who confront their fears and change over the course of their journey?

Sorcery of Thorns by Margaret Rogerson

If you were moved by Ryn and Ellis as they come to terms with loss, love, and their own inner strength in The Bone Houses, you'll be equally invested in Elisabeth's transformation in Sorcery of Thorns. Watching her grow from a sheltered apprentice to a courageous hero will appeal to your love of character-driven fantasy.
