(3) 4-6 Illustrated by Yoko Tanaka. Since he mysteriously became undead, Crow has been homeschooled, stuck inside and friendless. He secretly befriends new neighbor Melody, whose curiosity leads the pair to investigate Crow's reanimation, then confront the chimera-like creature that brought him back. This novel is Goosebumps-esque; gross but not gory horror-lite balanced by some humor and a series of puzzles the characters must use their complementary skills to solve.
