When eleven-year-old Eli Parker notices his shadow moving on its own, he tries to pretend it's nothing. But when a strange crescent mark appears on his bedroom wall and classmates whisper about "the boy with the wrong shadow," Eli realizes something in the dark has taken an interest in him. With the help of the Midnight Kids Club-two boys, two girls, all determined, all scared-Eli digs into the town's forgotten stories and uncovers a pattern of disappearances tied to the same smiling shadow now stalking him. As the mark on his wall grows brighter and the shadow grows bolder, the kids race to uncover what it wants before it steps fully out of the darkness... and takes Eli with it.
