A fun, quick summery horror! I really enjoyed the main characters and watching their friendship develop. There was a lot of humor, a bit of mystery and definitely some creepy bits. I feel like though the point of this book was to set up the plot of book 2 which I think will be way more spooky and interesting.

I really wanted to enjoy this 1980's middle grade mystery/horror, but ableist and ageist language got in the way.

Graphic: Bullying, Child death, Chronic illness, Fire/Fire injury, Gaslighting, and Murder
Moderate: Blood and Violence
It felt like it ended quite abruptly. Maybe it was a sequel hook?reading_under_covers's review against another edition

What a fun audiobook!
It did read a little mature at times for this being a middle grade book, but the constant one-two punch jokes really brought me back to the humor that comes with childhood 😂 sooo cheesy, but fun overall!
