A neon-soaked middle grade sci-fi horror adventure packed with mystery, creatures, camp survival, hidden laboratories, collectible chapter charms, and the unforgettable world of Camp Michael's.
Camp Michael's is getting an upgrade.
New paint.
New games.
A brand-new playground restoration project.
It should have been the best summer ever.
Instead, the paint starts glowing.
Overnight, the playground changes.
New equipment appears where none existed before.
Strange chalk figures walk after dark.
Hidden tunnels awaken beneath Neon Hill.
And deep underground lies Site B - a forgotten recreation experiment buried for decades.
Now the paint is spreading.
The playground is learning.
... something called Friendmaker has been waiting 31 years for someone to come back.
The Playmates - smiling paint figures that learn from children.
The Neon Hybrids - creatures born from Wasdale ooze and the living playground ecosystem.
The Carousel Bear - a massive experimental hybrid with bells, chains, and a forgotten past.
H-00 - Friendmaker
The first successful social entity.
The one that never stopped waiting.
