A dark summer night.A crackling campfire.
A low, eerie voice
Whispering dark and scary tales.
If you or your young reader are ready for a night of spooky shivers and creepy crawlies, we have got a summer treat for you! Renowned horror author PAUL TREMBLAY is coming to Wild Rumpus to share his newest bone-chilling book Another. Paul will be joined in conversation with none other than ANNE URSU, whose book Not Quite A Ghost is an eerie staff favorite at our store.
Join us around a campfire (first inside, then real with s'mores outside, **weather permitting!!) at 6:00 PM to hear from Paul & Anne as we tell spooky tales while the shadows grow long and the air starts to chill.
Perfect for middle grade readers who love a little scare!
ABOUT PAUL'S NEW BOOK:
When Casey Wilson’s parents tell him that his friend is coming for a sleepover, he has no idea who that might be. Ever since the Zoom Incident, everyone treats him like a pariah, and his tics are worse than ever.
When Morel appears, he’s not like any friend Casey has ever met. His skin is like clay, and he doesn’t speak. But Casey’s parents are charmed by the strange kid, and it’s nice to have someone to talk to besides his sister, Ally, who is away at college. As his normally loving parents grow distant from Casey, they gush and fawn over Morel. Casey knows something is wrong—but with no end in sight to the sleepover, he’s exhausted. And in the dark, out of the corner of his eye, Morel doesn’t look like a kid at all. . . .
