Here's a very original fun idea for Halloween! Kids can open to any one of the book's five two-page spreads, and a silhouette nighttime scene pops up against an evocatively tinted night sky background. A miniature flashlight attached to the book's cover can be turned on in a darkened room, its glow moved around to create shadows and give spooky animation to each scene. A typical silhouette depicts a gnarled tree, where an owl takes wing as it prepares to pounce on a mouse in the shrubbery below. The scene's brief caption announces: "After dark a little mouse flees/ As an owl swoops down through the trees!" Each of the five silhouetted scene suggests the start of an eerie Halloween story, but it's up to the kids who open this book to imagine and tell original stories for themselves.
There's more than meets the eye in this fun-filled Scooby-Doo book as kids can read the stories and use the included black-light/pen to view the hidden messages!

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • A mad scientist's concoction of teen detectives, H. P. Lovecraft, and a love of Americana, this is a story filled with rich horror, thrilling twists, outright hilarity, and surprising poignancy. "While this is obviously an ode to Scooby Doo... fans will love the idea of a group of mystery hunters coming back together after leaving the business.” —Bustle “Filled with high jinks both terrorizing and hilarious.” —USA Today In 1977, four teenagers and a dog—Andy (the tomboy), Nate (the nerd), Kerri (the bookworm), Peter (the jock), and Tim (the Weimaraner)—solved the mystery of Sleepy Lake. The trail of an amphibian monster terrorizing the quiet town of Blyton Hills leads the gang to spend a night in Deboën Mansion and apprehend a familiar culprit: a bitter old man in a mask. Now, in 1990, the twenty-something former teen detectives are lost souls. Plagued by night terrors and Peter's tragic death, the three survivors have been running from their demons. When the man they apprehended all those years ago makes parole, Andy tracks him down to confirm what she’s always known—they got the wrong guy. Now she'll need to get the gang back together and return to Blyton Hills to find out what really happened in 1977, and this time, she's sure they're not looking for another man in a mask.
