      Image Missing

      When you show up at your best friend’s house to walk to school in the morning, the last thing you expect to hear is, Jeremy is missing. Especially if your best friend is named Jeremy.

      And especially if he texted you the night before, promising to tell you about monsters.

      Jason! yelled Mrs. Hyken. You better not be getting into those cookies! Distracted, she looked away toward the ruckus. This didn’t seem like the best time to mention that the baby had painted some kind of yellowish goo all over the shoulder of Mrs. Hyken’s nice work outfit.
