Track the ghost cat.
Survive the woods.
Try not to get eaten.
On her twelfth birthday, Lila Banks just wants a quiet hike in the woods behind her house-and maybe one good present.
Instead, she finds a trail that plays tricks, a forest that won't stay put...and the ghost of her recently deceased cat.
Orangesicle was never especially nice when he was alive. Now he's roaming the forest, eyes glowing, stalking the trails-and very interested in what Lila tastes like.
As Lila is lured deeper into Sylvan Woods, she discovers the rules don't apply here. Trails shift. Strange creatures prowl. And pets are not always what they seem.
To make it through the night, Lila will need quick thinking, steady nerves, and real courage-because this isn't a cozy adventure, and the danger doesn't pull its punches.
The Ghost of CreepCat is a spooky, fast-paced middle grade fantasy novella set in the award-winning Casey Grimes world. It blends dark humor, strange monsters, and just enough dread to keep brave readers turning pages.
Reading order note:
For best effect-and to catch all the jokes and clues-this novella should be read after Book #1 in the Casey Grimes series, The Mostly Invisible Boy.
A fun, creepy fantasy adventure set in Sylvan Woods-perfect for kids ages 8-12 who like their stories funny, intense, and a little bit scary (and confident readers up to 14).
