BUY THIS BOOK FOR YOUR KIDS!!!

You have to buy this book for your kids, especially with Halloween coming up! It's an adventure-filled intricate story complete with spine-tingling monsters that will foster your child's imagination and leave them wanting another Dan Poblocki story!

want more

Very interesting book. I love the passages showing excerpts from the "books" written by one of the characters. It makes me want to read those books too. Maybe someday Mr Poblocki will write these books or short stories as well.

Wonderful suspense with so many twists and turns

This was such a great book. It kept me on the edge of my seat and I couldn't put it down. It immediately took me back to my childhood and had me wishing I could have experienced such adventures when I was young. Complete fun and should be read by everyone!!!!

OMG!!!!!!

I loooooooved this book. I hope they make it into a movie. Get on that Hollywood, mkay? Can't wait for his next book.

Freaking awesome

I agree with KG, I think they should make it a movie. It was so good. I think everyone with a brain and a beating heart will love this book. Witches, monsters and stone children may not like it.
