Description

Working at a hairdresser's isn't that great, thinks Kelly. There's a lot of hair to be swept up, stashed in the basement, prevented from turning into a deadly hair monster. Perhaps she should just get a nice office job and leave the bad hair days behind.

Quick Summary

This hair-raising horror comedy turns a simple salon job into a nightmare when sweeps of hair come alive and develop a taste for human flesh. Kids will devour the gross-out humor, spooky thrills, and a feisty teen protagonist who refuses to become another hair monster's dinner. If your kid loves the scary-but-fun vibe of R.L. Stine's Goosebumps or the mystery adventure of The Goonies, they'll be obsessed with this. Perfect for readers in grades 5 through 8 who crave spooky stories with laugh-out-loud moments.
