shelves lined with old masks.
Some stitched. Some cracked. Some smiling way too wide.
All of them waiting.
The rule is
Wear one… and it wears you back.

They whisper her name. They offer promises.
And one of them was made just for her.

A must-read for fearless kids who
✔ Haunted schools
✔ Possessed objects
✔ Creepy masks

About the author
T.L. Griffith
8 books8 followersWhen not chasing down mysterious ghost whispers or phantom playgrounds, Tania loves exploring magical worlds full of adventure and just the right amount of spooky.
She grew up on ghost stories, secret hideouts, and the kind of mysteries you could almost believe were real. Now she writes creepy stories for brave kids (and brave-ish grown-ups), and secretly hopes every weird old house has a haunted painting in it.
Tania lives with her family, her books, and probably a ghost dog. When she’s not writing, you’ll find her exploring the outdoors, lifting heavy things, or being inspired by her kids’ wild imaginations.

Another day, another Scaremoor Adventure. Oh and another creepy ready for spooktober!
First of all, this cover was absolutely gorgeous and it is also so creepy!
Once I got going I couldn't stop, the story, the plot, the masks, my god those masks.
I was practically shouting at the book saying why does nobody know!!! 🤣
Another great read, also if you are a goosebumps fan you will definitely like this series, they are brilliant. A nice little creepy one for you for the fall season.
