This one freaked me out. So let me tell u in emoji and words so u can get more creeped. 👶👧🙍🙆🙅💇 ☺ then when it was dark at the forest she went to the campfire 🔥 she heard that she should never be awake past 3:00 but she was as hard head as ever so she woke up extra early. Then she heard something she needed to use the bathroom so she ran 🏃 as fast as she could but she heard it again 👻 aaaaaaagh was the last words I heard her say then she screamed but this story was meant to be a campfire story told so if u see my rate the she might of died oof-also never wake up at 3:00 it's scary

Cliche, boring, edgy book that only attracts young children who find anything scary of the simple fact it states it's scary or just edgy people in general. Never liked it as a kid and still don't. I'm also absolutely mind blown as to how this this won e book of the year.

It's an ok book to read, NOT really a scary book like I was thinking, but maybe it will be scary for younger reading maybe in elementary / middle school. Only took me one day to read.
