    About this audiobook

    Prepare to go down a scary path in this first book in New York Times bestselling author Christopher Pike's Spooksville series.

    Adam has just moved to the small town of Springville. His first day there, he meets Sally, who tells him the town's real name is Spooksville because of all the spooky things that go on. Adam doesn't believe her—until they go in search of the Secret Path, a magical path that leads to other Spooksvilles.

    Join Adam, Sally, and their friend Watch as they take the Secret Path and pass through a dark doorway. On the other side you'll find a terrifying Spooksville where there are huge spiders, living skeletons, evil black knights, and a witch who just loves to make dolls…out of kids!

    Christopher Pike

    Christopher Pike is a bestselling young adult novelist and has published several adult books as well—Sati and The Season of Passage being the most popular. In YA, his Last Vampire series—often called Thirst—is a big favorite among his fans. Pike was born in Brooklyn, New York, but grew up in Los Angeles. He lives in Santa Barbara, California, with his longtime partner, Abir. Currently, several of Pike’s books are being turned into films, including The Midnight Club, which Netflix released as part of a ten-part series. The Midnight Club also draws from a half dozen of Pike’s earlier works. Presently, The Season of Passage is being adapted as a feature film by Universal Studios while Chain Letter—one of Pike all-time bestselling books—is also being adapted by Hollywood. At the moment, Pike is hard at work on a new YA series.

      This is definitely for young readers - which i am not. As much as i love YA or Middlegrades, this one just felt too young. I think when i was in school id have loved it though. I loved spooky adventure type books but i guess ive just lost too much of my imagination for this to really have an impact on me now.

      Twelve year old Adam Freeman and his family have just moved from Kansas City to the small town of Springville on the West Coast. He isn't happy about the move, but on his first day in town he meets Sally and Watch, two kids who have grown up in Springville, who inform Adam that the locals know the place as "Spooksville" because of the high occurrence of supernatural phenomenon. Sally and Watch introduce Adam to Bum, the former mayor who knows lots of secrets about the town, including how to find the secret path that leads to another Spooksville dimension, one that includes hungry skeletons and a powerful witch.

      After binge watching the first season of Spooksville, I just had to read the first book in the series. Although quite different from the series (aren't they always) this was a fun book that I could see kids enjoying. It is creepy and just a bit gross in places. It would be perfect for Halloween reading.Adam, Salley and Watch are too much fun.

      I had been trying to find the name of this series for ages and finally come across it. I don't think I could read it now but I loved it when I was young.
