Skeleton Man (YA) by Joseph Bruchac.
Molly's parents mysteriously disappear and a strange uncle shows up to act as her guardian. He's a gaunt, odd man who prepares her lavishly fattening breakfasts each morning but locks her into her room at night. Imprisoned in her room, Molly is plagued with nightmares about a Native American tale about the flesh-eating skeleton man. With the exception of her school teacher, the rest of the adults in Molly's life refuse to believe that Molly's fears are valid. Molly must rely only on herself if she's ever going to free herself from her uncle.
