The Fate of Finnegan Quick - by Larry Hayes (Paperback)

About the Book

Book Synopsis

This creepy, page-turning middle grade horror novel about a boy whose nightmares come to life is guaranteed to scare even the bravest readers.

Having your dreams become real sounds fun . . . until it's only ever the super bad nightmares that come true. And after I accidentally dreamed my parents out of reality, these nightmares are the only hope I have of finding them again.

To find clues about my parents' disappearance, my best friends, Squid and Cass, and I investigate the paranormal. We discover an urban legend about a girl whose body remained perfect even after death. Rumor is, she's a banshee--a terrifying creature with the power of prophecy whose unearthly scream could drive anyone who hears it to instant madness.

But when the banshee appears in my dreams and I accidentally hear her scream, I see a vision of Squid. My best friend, dead. Now it's up to me to unravel the mystery of the banshee's curse, or risk losing the only family I have left.
