“A rip-roaring ghost story.”—Booklist,
Starred
Zack, his dad, and new stepmother have
just moved back to his father’s hometown, not knowing that
their new house has a dark history. Fifty years ago, a
crazed killer caused an accident at the nearby crossroads
that took 40 innocent lives. He died when his car hit a tree
in a fiery crash, and his malevolent spirit has inhabited
the tree ever since. During a huge storm, lightning hits the
tree, releasing the spirit, who decides his evil spree isn’t
over . . . and Zack is directly in his
sights.
Award-winning thriller author Chris
Grabenstein fills his first book for younger readers with
the same humorous and spine-tingling storytelling that has
made him a fast favorite with adults.
