Haunted Mystery Series

The Black Heart Crypt

Book 4

Agatha Award Winner, Best Children’s/Young Adult Novel

Halloween. Dressing up, eating candy, carving pumpkins, and going to parties.

Most kids’ favorite night of the year.

Not Zack Jennings.

Zack knows that on Halloween, the veil separating the ghostly plane from the human world is very, very thin. Powerful spirits can cross over and do some serious mischief.

In this fourth volume of Chris Grabenstein’s popular Haunted Mysteries series, Zack must once again do battle with malevolent spirits. With the assistance of three dotty aunts (and their crazy cats), he must also save his town from a 200-year-old threat.
