About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is starting to test boundaries and needs a fun, slightly spooky lesson on why some rules and warnings exist for a reason. It is the perfect choice for a young reader who craves the adrenaline of a 'scary' story but still needs the safety net of a humorous, fast-paced adventure where the stakes are manageable. The story follows Sam, who ignores the warnings surrounding his uncle's mystical artifacts and accidentally awakens a carnivorous, sentient boomerang. As Sam tries to outrun the consequences of his curiosity, the book explores themes of personal responsibility and the importance of thinking before acting. At 64 pages with engaging illustrations, it is an ideal 'bridge' book for elementary students moving into independent reading who enjoy a blend of fantasy and light horror.
