Everyone in Baskerville knows about Jimmy Leeds. In fact, Adam Riley and his friends have been telling scary stories about Jimmy for years--stories they don't really believe. After all, how can anyone believe in a half-human beast with horns and hooves?

But the legend of Jimmy Leeds isn't just a story. When all the kids in the neighborhood decide to have a giant campout, Adam and his friends learn much too late that the streets of Baskerville aren't safe--especially after dark. One by one, Adam's friends start disappearing into the night. At first, Adam thinks it's some kind of joke--until he follows the hoofprints into the nearby woods, and finds himself face-to-face with the Beast of Baskerville....
