Book details
Robert Lawrence Stine - Author
This is a Halloween mystery with a child protagonist, unsettling neighbours and a risky investigation. It appears to combine spooky suspense with family and friendship elements, while leaving the central threat and ending unclear.
What Happens to This House on Halloween? Kenny Manzetti was the new kid in town. His family moved back in to an old house to help take care of his grandfather. Everyone in his new neighborhood is obsessed with zombies--even Grandpa Mo. But then a new family moves in next door and their choice in furniture is...interesting. Kenny is convinced that there is something strange about the new neighbors, but his parents won't listen to him. So Kenny and his friends go in for a closer look. A bad idea on any day, but definitely the wrong choice around Halloween. Will Kenny survive long enough to go trick or treating?
