The autumn air sparkles with the spirit of Halloween. Magic weaves through the night. The mysterious Coupeville Haunt awaits.
On fog-shrouded Weirdbey Island, where even shadows hold monstrous secrets, a supernatural contest is about to begin — one that may seal a fearsome fate.
When Dylan Wylde encounters a dastardly trickster clown, he and his friends are drawn into an extraordinary challenge. They must face three formidable foes in their quest for the Halloween crown — but this is no ordinary competition.
As local legends whisper through the enchanted streets, Dylan realizes winning isn’t just about glory. Failure could unleash ancient forces better left contained.
Racing against time through a bewitched attraction, Dylan must uncover the haunting truth behind the trials. In the Coupeville Haunt, every shadow tells a story — and only one champion can claim the crown.
If you dare to enter, prepare for a Halloween tale unlike any other. Perfect for Goosebumps fans and reluctant readers who crave a weird Middle Grade mystery with a side of Halloween mischief, The Coupeville Haunt is a pulse-pounding middle grade adventure you won’t want to put down!
