When I received this book, I just knew it had to be one of those books I read with my son. He's not in to horror, but spooky stories are a thing for him too. Heck, he read and played the Five Nights of Freddy thing before I knew of it!

So we decided to write this review together. We began Wednesday, Sept. 8 and finished it a few days later! It was such a fun ride, we couldn't stop reading! For the first time, since fifth grade, he was more eager to read a book than I was! He said it was more than funny, excitable and so interesting, WE finished it in four days! The only reason we didn't finish it sooner is because it's a book we're reading for school.

When my boy is happy and excited to read, I feel I've accomplished a great deal. Last year, we read some pretty cool books, but this one is number one so far! Check out this cool read. I don't know when the second book will be released, but the epilogue already has us hungry for more!

The story is about a girl who find a book that's totally meant for her. Meaning, the book wanted her to find it. But what she doesn't realize is, there's a plan with her name written all over it, and it tells her. YES, the book speaks with her and she follows along, like a nut! It's not until a sleepover that she realizes how much trouble they're all in. And what is that thing that's lurking outside, that the book keeps telling her about?

​ What I think we enjoyed most was the ease of the story. It was perfect for his age, maybe even a bit simple to get in to and kept us hooked until the very end. There's a huge difference of interest between Joshua and I, yet we both were caught up in the mystery and haunting lead that kept our main character in trouble..

​ It's not a mega-hit hit, but for the middle graders who want the scare without all the fright and gore, just like Goosebumps, this is the read! Check it out while we move on to the next read. Cheers!
