The Crossroads by Chris Grabenstein
Chris Grabenstein's first book for younger readers (Middle Grades) is filled with the same humorous and spinetingling storytelling that has made him a fast favorite with adults. Zack Jennings, his dad, and new stepmother have just moved back to his father's hometown in Connecticut, not knowing that their new house has a dark history. Fifty years ago, a crazed killer caused an accident at the nearby crossroads that took forty innocent lives. He died when his car hit a tree in a fiery crash, and his malevolent spirit has inhabited the tree ever since. During a huge storm, lightning hits the tree, releasing the spirit, who decides his evil spree isn't over, and Zack is directly in his sights!
Chris Grabenstein is the Anthony award-winning author of the John Ceepak/Jersey Shore mysteries TILT A WHIRL, MAD MOUSE, and WHACK A MOLE plus the holiday thrillers SLAY RIDE and HELL FOR THE HOLIDAYS. In 1986, he and his college buddy Ronny Venable wrote THE CHRISTMAS GIFT starring John Denver for CBS TV and it still shows up every holiday season on cable TV.
