Stranger Things meets Invasion of the Body Snatchers in this thrilling sci-fi adventure from bestselling author Dan Smith
Stranger Things meets Invasion of the Body Snatchers in this fast-paced, horror adventure with an ecological twist.
Something sinister is happening in Crooked Oak โ€ฆ
Ever since the fracking site closed, Nancyโ€™s parents have been acting weird. Their eyes are blank, they wonโ€™t eat โ€“ itโ€™s like theyโ€™re no longer themselves. And now the symptoms are affecting others as well โ€ฆ
Nancy and her friends Pete and Krish are determined to find out whatโ€™s going on. But the deeper they dig, the scarier the mystery gets. A dark presence is spreading its tendrils across Crooked Oak. Can they stop it before it takes over the whole town?
