Synopsis:
Dare you turn the page of the old spooky book? Will you write in it? Min is forced to move into the old and haunted Cemetery House where a ghost-boy awaits her in the library. Zak is chased by terrible creatures that drip oil and he can’t get home. This is only the start of the many uncanny events that will happen to them, including having to dig a body out of a grave in the shadowy darkness and a close encounter with a vampire! Be warned ... this hair-raising book is not for the faint-hearted! Don’t you dare scream!
