THE SECOND ADVENTURE IN THE MIDDLE-GRADE SERIES "...it's a terrifically enjoyable middle grade speculative novel" - Independent Book Review Roy has a lot going on in his life: A new school. A grumpy blob. A new neighbor. A bald mouse. Some water balloons. Two kid zombies. And a few embarrassing noises. Sounds like the perfect list for the perfect adventure--right? Wrong. Just as Roy settles into middle school, a big problem plows its way into his life. Fortunately, a new kid moves in across the street and fills Roy's nights with plenty of distractions and mischief. As the two become friends, Roy's days and nights get jumbled together, and a few pranks lead up to a Halloween night of tricks and fright. Sweet revenge quickly turns sour as Roy realizes he has become the very person who scares him the most. "It's a terrifically enjoyable middle grade speculative novel. Dill's insightful prose elevates this story, making it one that young readers can return to with joy as they await the next installment in the series." Independent Book Review Adventure 2 was a fun yet challenging manuscript to write as it addresses complicated issues middle graders are sometimes faced with--like bullying, strained friendships, physical challenges, and revenge. I know. It all sounds so serious! But not to worry, the adventurous, inventive, and silly side of me permeates almost every aspect of my life--especially writing. While reading this book, I hope everyone giggles a lot, thinks a lot, and is reminded of how important it is to have good friends and to be a good friend. Be sure to read all the adventures in this middle-grade book series. Sally Dill promises that Roy will have plenty more adventures in his life.
