A chilling tale from storyteller Ethan Crownberry. What gives you
the willies? Strange noises? Creepy shadows? The feeling you are
being watched? For a 12-year-old boy lost on Halloween night, it is
all of these things and more. Join him on his adventure home as he
encounters one hair-raising experience after another. Then, decide
for yourself. Are the Willies just something we feel? Or are they
actually little monsters that love to torment us when we are at our
most vulnerable? Ethan Crownberry has done it again in this
spine-tingling masterpiece.

get swept up in an epic quest to save their world from falling into
eternal darkness. Deep in the heart of the planet Irpa stands the
Salty Pig's House of Tonics & Tinctures, home of the wise Pig
Wizard and his adopted granddaughter, Bea. As keepers of the
Endless Flame, they live a quiet and peaceful life, crafting
medicines and potions for the people of their once-prosperous
world. All that changes one day when, while walking through the
woods, Bea meets Cad, a member of the Galdurians, an ancient race
thought to be long-extinct. Cad believes that if anyone can help
him find his missing people, it's the Pig Wizard. But when the two
arrive home, the Pig Wizard is nowhere to be found-all that's left
is the Jar of Endless Flame and a mysterious note. Fearing for the
Pig Wizard's safety, Bea and Cad set out across Irpa to find him,
while danger fights its way out of the shadows and into the light.
Will these two unexpected friends find the beloved Pig Wizard and
prevent eternal darkness from blanketing their world? Or has Irpa
truly seen its last sunrise? Praise for Lightfall Kirkus Best Books
