1-3Stepping Stone series.
Illustrated by
Scott Altmann.
Cousins Henry and Keats accept an odd job at Hallway House to earn money for new bikes. Cryptic instructions list daunting tasks including "battle and defeat the shark-headed zombie." With some luck--and magical aids--the boys emerge victorious after a wild but confusing day of chasing, fighting, and conjuring. The story is convoluted but entertaining; shadowy black-and-white drawings help clarify the action.
