Adam
and his family move to a small town, and when he meets a girl his age, Sally,
he very quickly he finds out that its nicknamed Spooksville. As they tour the
small town, they run into the town ‘witch’ and meet up with a boy named Watch.
Watch has found out from a local homeless man that there is a magical secret
path that takes you on a magical adventure. When they find the path, they find
out that going back isn’t going to be easy, if they can make it back at all.
Looks to
be a re-print of an earlier published work. I flat out found this book to be
way too far on the side of horror to add to my school library. I love to find
just the right spooky, creepy, and ghostly books, but not horror. This book was dark, dreary,
and upsetting. There was also a lot of romance references that I don’t think
elementary students would appreciate, though this book is too young for middle
schoolers.
