The Curse of Rottingwood Way: A Middle Grade Horror Mystery About Secrets Buried at School
Something is terribly wrong at Rottingwood Way Elementary School. Students are muttering nonsense, forgetting who they are, and staring into space as if their minds are slipping away. It starts with just a few kids, but soon, the infection spreads like wildfire. Fifth-grader Hailee Hays and her five friends realize this isn't just some strange sickness-this is the curse of Brain Rot.
According to legend, years ago, a boy got lost in the woods behind the school and stumbled upon a rotting, ancient tree. When he touched it, something changed in him-his words turned to gibberish, his thoughts became scrambled, and soon, he was lost to the world. Now, whatever haunted him is taking over Rottingwood Way Elementary.
With time running out, Haillie and her friends are desperate for answers. That's when their eccentric substitute teacher, Mr. Clean, steps in. Unlike the rest of the oblivious adults, he seems to know what's happening-and how to stop it. With his quirky sense of humor, popularity, and a knowledge of the town's darkest secrets, Mr. Clean leads the six students on a terrifying adventure to break the curse.
But the deeper they dig, the more dangerous their mission becomes. The infection is spreading faster than they imagined, and someone-or something-is trying to stop them from uncovering the truth.
Can they find the legendary tree and end the curse before they, too, fall victim to The Curse of Rottingwood Way? Or will they lose their minds-and their school-forever?
A chilling mystery packed with eerie twists, creepy legends, and a teacher who may be their greatest hope!
