About This Book
Reach for this book when you have a reluctant reader who craves the adrenaline of a scary story but feels intimidated by long, dense chapters. It is a perfect bridge for children who are transitioning into middle grade fiction and need a high-stakes, fast-paced mystery to keep them engaged. The story follows a young protagonist who discovers a cursed, blank page in a library book that seems to be erasing reality itself. As the mystery unfolds, your child will explore themes of bravery and the power of the written word. Michael Dahl specializes in 'hi-lo' fiction, high interest, lower reading level, which helps build reading stamina without sacrificing the 'cool factor' that 8 to 12 year olds look for. It is spooky enough to be thrilling but remains grounded in a secular, adventure-based reality that is appropriate for late elementary students.
