The bone thief

"There once was a town named Quiver Hollows, where abnormal was normal and being odd was embraced. But ordinary Grimsly Summerfield's averageness stuck out like a sore thumb. Peculiarly enough, it was also celebrated by his peers. That is, until Quiver Hollows started to function like a regular town. And every villager turned to Grimsly as the cause. So, with the help of three very rare best friends, Grimsly sets off to find his specialness and turn Quiver Hollows back into its unusual self."--Dust jacket.
