Whispering Tollbooth

By JP Dumas

"WHAT YOU OWE, THEY WILL COLLECT."

The Aiden Adventures: Whispering Tollbooth

When adventurous Aiden and his cautious best friend, Sam, stumble upon a crumbling, moss-covered stone tollbooth at a forgotten crossroads, they assume it's just a relic of a bygone era. But when a crisp, mechanical rotary phone inside begins to ring-and its dial starts spinning on its own-they realize they've found something far more sinister.

Answering the call doesn't just break the seal on a century-old mystery; it opens a gate to a vast, shifting dimensional pocket where the booth's interior is a massive, dark cavern filled with the lost treasures of past travelers.

Trapped by the tollkeeper-a spectral, hollow-eyed figure hovering in the gloom-the boys are told they must pay the toll to leave. But this is not a payment of coin. The tollkeeper demands a story: a true, never-before-uttered secret from each of them. If the secret is found hollow, they remain, becoming part of the foundation.

Now, as the shadows lengthen and detached footsteps form in the dust, Aiden and Sam are forced to confront their deepest fears and hidden burdens. Can they survive the tollkeeper's game, or will their secrets become the price of their eternal imprisonment?

Embark on a chilling, adrenaline-fueled middle-grade mystery perfect for fans of Goosebumps and Coraline, where the only way out is to speak the truth-and face the consequences.
