Book Description

They wanted to give it one more try.

Bum has told Adam and his friends about a place on the other side of the Secret Path that is supposed to be more fun than anything they have ever seen. Bum is so enthusiastic about the other dimension that Watch and Adam are willing to try the magical path once more, even though they know it is dangerous. Sally, of course, warns them that they'll all probably end up dead.

As usual, they ignore Sally.

They pass through the mysterious doorway.

They have fun, at first.

Then they learn that there are much worse things than dying.

This review is from: The Dark Corner (Spooksville, No 7) (Hardcover)

It was SOOOOO COOL! My favorite part was when Adam gives the demon some cold lemonade to be passed of as blood! I'd recommend this to anyone who likes horror stories!

I enjoyed this book very much. You will too. But it is a sequel, so restrain yourself until you've read the prequel, Spooksville #1 "The Secret Path".

hi,
these book is amazing is about the secret path, well it starts when Sally, Watch,Cindy and Adam were talking about the school, when Sally told them that there was a cute boy and its name was Bryce, and he was a hero he have many dangerous aventures.Watch and Adam were angry because they did'nt believe there was a another guy that have more aventures than they, but Adam was angry because Cindy like how Sally described him!
Sally told them that the past week she saw Bryce and he told she that he is going to go to the secret path, but he havent come...
They go to search Bryce but Cindy stay.
When they cross the secret path it was the same spooksville, but more beatiful. They went to eat something and they give them the food free! Sally wanted to go to see herself to her house, but Adam and Watch didnt want, but Sally want to go, so they went to the house of Adam. At first it seem normal but then they were horribles creatures! then they go to Spooksville and they tried to hipnotize Cindy! Bryce help to Sally, Adam and watch to escape but they can't go to Spooksville only Bryce can do it but they need a plan so bryce can escape and bring the Creatures back! Cindy risked her life so here really friends can escape!

Hey if someone have read Creappy Creature, Phone Fear or Witch give please you can tell me? Because I live in Mexico and here the book Spooksville finished in number 21 (living dead) really I am vey anxious to know what happend if Adam and Cindy will be boyfriends or if Cindy broke with Bryce. Please tell me if you know what happen to: [...]
Well,
Thank you.
