Fright Bites #1: The Backpack That Bites Back

By: Lewis, M. C.

Jake Miller's new backpack seemed perfect-light, tough, and full of secret pockets. But when his math homework vanishes overnight, leaving only tiny jagged bite marks, Jake knows something is horribly wrong.

At first it's just paper and pencils. Then it starts eating lunches. Then living things. The more the backpack swallows, the weirder Jake feels. He's forgetting his own birthday. His reflection in the zipper looks... off. And no matter where he hides the bag, it always comes back-straps wriggling like it's alive.

With his best friend Tyler and little sister Sophie, Jake tries everything to destroy it. But the backpack is getting hungrier. Stronger. And it's not just after his stuff anymore.

It wants him.

A fast-paced, standalone horror novel perfect for fans of Goosebumps and classic middle-grade chills. Short chapters, big scares, and a twist ending that will leave readers checking their own backpacks twice.
