"The Hanging Hill"

New from Random House Books for Young Readers: The Hanging Hill by Chris Grabenstein.

About the book, from the publisher:

How serious is stage fright? At the Hanging Hill Playhouse, it can kill you.

After narrowly escaping a malevolent spirit in The Crossroads, Zack and Judy are hoping to relax during the rehearsals for a show based on Judy’s bestselling children’s books. Little do they know that the director is planning to raise a horde of evil specters from the dead, and to accomplish this, he needs a human sacrifice ... and Zack fits the bill perfectly.

This second book featuring the intrepid Zack and his stepmother, Judy, is full of the same humorous and spine-tingling storytelling that has made Chris Grabenstein a fast favorite with young and old alike.

Read about Fred, Grabenstein's dog, who is the inspiration for Zipper, the dog in The Hanging Hill.
