Description
The brand new must-read middle-grade novel from the author of Crater Lake. Perfect for 9+ fans of R.L.Stine’s Goosebumps.
There’s a new craze at Dread Wood High. Flinch is a game of fear where the more you scare your friends, the more points you get on the app. At first, it’s fun, but soon fun is replaced by fear. Angelo and his friends notice that everyone is behaving increasingly strangely every day – almost as if something is taking over their brains…
With the fair arriving in town, adrenaline and excitement levels are high. But who are the people behind the super-creepy clown masks? With fights breaking out and Flinch in full force, it’s time for the final showdown at the Fear Ground. Let the REAL games begin!
