Book Overview
What if the monsters from your favorite horror books were real? Eddie Fennicks has always been a loner, content to lose himself in a mystery novel by his favorite author, Nathaniel Olmstead. That's why moving to the small town of Gatesweed becomes a dream come true when Eddie discovers that Olmstead lived there before mysteriously disappearing thirteen years ago. Even better, Eddie finds a handwritten, never-before-seen Nathaniel Olmstead book printed in code and befriends Harris, who's as much an Olmsteady as he is. But then the frightening creatures of Olmstead's books begin to show up in real life, and Eddie's dream turns into a nightmare. Eddie, Harris, and their new friend, Maggie, must break Olmstead's code, banish all gremlins and monster lake-dogs from the town of Gatesweed, and solve the mystery of the missing author, all before Eddie's mom finishes writing her own tale of terror and brings to life the scariest creature of all.

Very interesting book. I love the passages showing excerpts from the "books" written by one of the characters. It makes me want to read those books too. Maybe someday Mr Poblocki will write these books or short stories as well.
Freaking awesome

I agree with KG, I think they should make it a movie. It was so good. I think everyone with a brain and a beating heart will love this book. Witches, monsters and stone children may not like it.

This was such a great book. It kept me on the edge of my seat and I couldn't put it down. It immediately took me back to my childhood and had me wishing I could have experienced such adventures when I was young. Complete fun and should be read by everyone!!!!
