Doll Bones by Holly Black

I thought this book would be creepier than it was, but I still enjoyed it.  Zach, Poppy and Alice enjoy playing a continuous, ever-changing game that they make up using their dolls and action figures as characters.  Then Poppy begins to hear from "The Queen."  The Queen is a china doll that they use in the stories, but now the Queen is coming to Poppy in dreams and letting her know that she is actually a doll made from the bones of a girl that died when she was young.  The Queen wants them to go on a quest to bury her in her grave.  And, off on a quest they go.  This is a fast paced book, because you really want to keep reading to see if this is part of their imaginary game, or really a ghost with a mission.
