Middle School Monday: The Ghoul Next Door by Cullen Bunn and Cat Farris
When Grey decides to take the shortcut through the cemetery on his way to school one day, he has no idea that he’s setting some dangerous events in motion. Grey is carrying his history project, and when he trips, he drops the project into a mysterious hole in the ground. That’s when someone… or some THING … takes it away, pulling it deeper under ground.
This is how Grey meets Lavinia. She is a ghoul. She lives in the cemetery. And she’d like to be his friend, even though it’s against the rules.
Give this book to older kids and younger teens who are fans of Anya’s Ghost by Vera Brosgol, and to readers who enjoy creepy and fantastic adventures with plenty of suspense!
