The Carnival Curse

By Gerald Mccay

When the mysterious Giggles & Grins Grand Carnival rolls into the quiet town of Oakhaven, twelve-year-old Leo Martinez knows something's wrong. The clowns are too cheerful. The laughter is too loud. And the face paint? It doesn't wash off.

As his classmates begin transforming into hollow-eyed jokesters and his little sister Maya slips behind a permanent grin, Leo races to uncover the carnival's chilling secret. With the help of a quiet classmate and a homemade chemical spray, Leo must infiltrate the twisted funhouse, confront the sinister ringmaster Ruffles, and stop the curse before the carnival packs up-and takes the town's children with it.

Giggles & Grins: The Carnival Curse is a spine-tingling middle-grade horror adventure filled with creepy clowns, eerie transformations, and a brave boy who dares to fight back.

Perfect for fans of Goosebumps, Coraline, and The Nightmare Before Christmas.
