New York Times bestselling adult author of The Bear and the
Nightingale makes her middle grade debut with a creepy,
spellbinding ghost story destined to become a classic After
suffering a tragic loss, eleven-year-old Ollie only finds solace in
books. So when she happens upon a crazed woman at the river
threatening to throw a book into the water, Ollie doesn't
think--she just acts, stealing the book and running away. As she
begins to read the slender volume, Ollie discovers a chilling story
about a girl named Beth, the two brothers who both loved her, and a
peculiar deal made with "the smiling man," a sinister specter who
grants your most tightly held wish, but only for the ultimate
price. Ollie is captivated by the tale until her school trip the
next day to Smoke Hollow, a local farm with a haunting history all
its own. There she stumbles upon the graves of the very people
she's been reading about. Could it be the story about the smiling
man is true? Ollie doesn't have too long to think about the answer
to that. On the way home, the school bus breaks down, sending their
teacher back to the farm for help. But the strange bus driver has
some advice for the kids left behind in his care: "Best get moving.
At nightfall they'll come for the rest of you." Nightfall is,
indeed, fast descending when Ollie's previously broken digital
wristwatch, a keepsake reminder of better times, begins a startling
countdown and delivers a terrifying message: RUN. Only Ollie and
two of her classmates heed the bus driver's warning. As the trio
head out into the woods--bordered by a field of scarecrows that
seem to be watching them--the bus driver has just one final piece
of advice for Ollie and her friends: "Avoid large places. Keep to
small." And with that, a deliciously creepy and hair-raising
adventure begins.
