Description

When Maggie moves to Goreway, she's immediately intrigued by the legends of Skeleton Woods. She's willing to prove they are real. When she meets a real-life vampire, she'll need to convince the people of Goreway to protect their nocturnal neighbours.

Quick Summary

A girl who literally has no idea what she's doing stumbles into vampire neighbors in a tiny town obsessed with monster legends, and her clumsy quest to protect them becomes an unexpectedly hilarious adventure. Kids will devour the laugh-out-loud moments where Maggie's ridiculous plans backfire spectacularly, mixing spooky Skeleton Woods mysteries with the comedy of a well-meaning amateur. If your kid loves the monster humor of "The Last Kids on Earth" or the spooky-but-silly fun of "Goosebumps," they'll absolutely devour this. Perfect for fourth through sixth graders who want their vampires with a heavy helping of heart and hijinks.
