From the author of Junior Monster Scouts comes new spooky and silly
series perfect for fans of Goosebumps and Scary Stories to Tell in
the Dark. In this first book, things get hairy for two fifth
graders who take on a haunted mustache! Wolver Hollow is not a
normal town. The adults are too busy shuffling off to work at the
old coffin factory to notice or care, but the kids know all about
monsters, ghosts, and strange lights in the sky. Strange things
happen in Wolver Hollow. Creepy things. But fifth graders Parker
and Lucas are determined to debunk one of Wolver Hollow's legends:
Over a hundred years ago, Bockius Beauregard was vaporized in an
unfortunate accident and all that remained was his magnificent
mustache. People say it returns every year, on the anniversary of
Bockius's death, seeking a lip to claim as its own! When the boys
try to prove the story is fake, they find more than they bargained
for.

end. "This is an excellent book with compelling characters, a
creepy atmosphere and a clever plot. It was hard to put down and I
finished it in one day." Joseph Delaney Preston Oldcorn lay quite
still, eyes tight shut, trying to shrug off the cold grip of the
nightmare. It was 9:22 p.m. It was always 9:22 p.m. A cold hand had
plunged into Preston's chest and tightened its icy grip around his
heart. In an instant, Preston was dead. Preston finds himself in a
desolate void, trapped in the chasm between life and death. Soon
discovering that he is not alone, Preston must stay one-step ahead
of his enemies and discover the mysteries held by this new world as
