Lindsay, Nick, Chris, Amy, and Paul are just a few of the kids in the neighborhood that enjoy hanging out together. From the usual antics that preteens enjoy, like playing in the graveyard, trick or treating, and celebrating birthdays, the kids find themselves in some unique situations that lead to unexpected ending twists. Spooky Twisties I offers 13 tales of terror that will grab you from the start, and leave you with chilling surprise endings. Adventures are speckled with humorous dialogue to frightening calls for help in working through their series of unusual encounters. Even though the chapters have individual storylines, many are intertwined with characters that are not so likable. For instance, Creepy Guy and Dan the Security Guard seem to have a 'fixation' for Lindsay and Amy who are best friends. Then there is old Mrs. Miller who appears to have lived on the street forever but has found a secret to anti-aging. 'Easter eggs' or 'hidden references' mesh, and just when you think you're headed towards a 'fairy-tale' ending, a strange unforeseen chilling conclusion occurs leaving the reader saying, "I didn't see that happening!" No happily ever after endings here.
