Perfect for fans of Small Spaces and Doll Bones, this spooky, highly illustrated middle grade novel follows a girl who hopes to fix her outcast status through a game in the haunted woods, only to discover that some legends shouldn’t be played with. Everyone knows Fall Hollow is haunted. It has been ever since Abigail Snook went into the woods many years ago, never to be seen again. Since then, it’s tradition for the sixth graders at Beckett Elementary to play the Bellwoods Game on Halloween night. Three kids are chosen to go into the woods. Whoever rings the bell there wins the game and saves the town for another year, but if Abigail’s ghost captures the players first, the spirit is let loose to wreak havoc on Fall Hollow—or so the story goes. Now that it’s Bailee’s year to play, she can finally find out what really happens. And legend has it the game’s winner gets a wish. Maybe, just maybe, if Bailee wins, she can go back to the way things used to be before her grandma got sick and everyone at school started hating her. But when the night begins, everything the kids thought they knew about the game—and each other—is challenged. One thing’s for sure: something sinister is at play…waiting for them all in the woods.

I really enjoyed this middle grade ghost story. I wished I would have discovered it for the Scarathlon. It had just the right mix of spookiness and fun. While the last third did seem to drag a bit, the ending was well done. In the end, it was a tale of friendships regained through adversity.

Spooky Season cannot come fast enough and I‘m too ready for this weather to cool down!

Until then, I‘ll pretend and get lost in this spooky, middle grade novel, The Bellwoods Game. I couldn't ignore it. This book was literally staring at me. Can you see those eyes lurking on the cover? 🫣

I‘m not quite done with it yet, but so far it‘s atmospheric and fun. Perfect for reading by flashlight, under a blanket. 👻😱
