The Dinosaurs Woke Up Hungry: Creep Street #13

Some roadside attractions don't want your money. They want your warmth.Hollis Pruitt has memorized every roadside attraction on Highway 12. The giant concrete jackrabbit. The rock shop that sells fake dinosaur eggs and calls it science. And Dino Junction - forty acres of life-size fiberglass dinosaurs baking in the desert sun, half of them missing tails, all of them peeling down to bone-white flakes.So when the family station wagon dies right in front of the gate, Hollis figures it's just one long, boring night stuck with his brand-new stepsister. Yara Haddad has said about forty words to him since the wedding, and eleven of them were you're breathing loud again.Then the sun goes down.Then the T. rex steps off its pedestal.The dinosaurs of Dino Junction are hollow inside. Hollow, and slow, and so, so hungry - not for meat, but for something warm to fill them up. The ticket booth is padlocked. The highway is empty in both directions. And every single hour, the herd gets a little faster.Hollis has one idea and until sunrise to pull it off: lead the whole thundering herd into the old quarry before the last of the dark runs out. But surviving until dawn might cost more than either of them planned - because when the sun finally comes up, Hollis catches his reflection in the car window, and something with glass eyes stares back.Inside this Creep Street book: - A crumbling desert dinosaur park that only comes alive after dark- Two kids who can barely stand each other and have nobody else left- Forty-foot monsters that move slow at midnight and fast by three a.m.- A twist ending that reluctant readers will read twice- Fifteen short chapters with a cliffhanger every few pagesPerfect for readers ages 8 to 12 who love scary stories with a grin, this standalone spooky novella is written for grades 3 through 6 - including kids who swear they hate reading.
