A new joke shop has opened and everyone is bringing plastic snakes, wind-up teeth and exploding sweets into school. But Aaron doesn't find the pranks very funny. They seem to be genuinely hurting people. Quite badly.

With Halloween approaching, he needs to find out what's going on before things take an even darker turn.

This story by Tim Collins will capture your imagination – but not in a nice way! Nightmares are brought to life and chaos reigns in this demonic Teen Read, with little hope of holding back the tide. What's going to happen??? You'll have to read it to find out.

Across this series, our authors have worked creatively to pack original and exciting stories with grown-up themes into short, inviting volumes that are accessible to struggling readers. This last title is no exception.

With our Teen Reads, we hope to show your reluctant readers that reading doesn't have to be a flat, one-dimensional experience, and that they can be thrilled, frightened and pulled into a different world all by turning a page or two. The possibilities are endless!
