Book Synopsis

Mac has always been a loner. After all, it's hard to make friends when you're constantly moving. Why would this year be any different? At her new school, though, there's a rumor that a mirror in the old second-floor bathroom will grant any wish you whisper to it. Believing it to be a cruel prank, Mac is skeptical. But she tries anyway. She wishes for a friend. Unfortunately, the legend is no joke and the thing that lies beyond the mirror wants nothing more than for others to join it in its nightmarish home, forever and ever . . . Will Mac be taken in by the terror or can she find something to bring her back to reality? Prepared to be scared in this chilling chapter book for young readers by the master of misery and fright, I.M. Dehd.

Review Quotes

This new series offers "seriously scary stories that chill to the bone." Each standalone title is written by a different author, but all share the same introduction about I.M. Dead, "the master of misery who delights in dreaming up nightmarish tales." In the first four novels, readers encounter the ghost of a legendary pirate haunting a surfer, a wish-granting mirror that traps someone in its nightmarish world, an evil egg controlling schoolchildren and making adults disappear, and a beast with red ears hunting for its next meal. Each story ­centers on a school-aged child going about their daily life before being plunged into a terrifying situation. Though the books are short chapter novels, there are no ­illustrations, and the content is intense, not for the faint of heart. The fast-paced plots are perfect for reading aloud as scary campfire stories. ­VERDICT A great addition to ­horror collections, especially where series like "­Goosebumps" are popular.-- "School Library Journal"
