12 years old one day, 80 the next…
Azie has no idea she and her family just moved into a cursed Victorian house in small town upstate New York. Until she learns about the Old Person Disease. Apparently, all the kids who ever lived in Azie’s new house over the past few generations died of a mysterious illness nobody ever knew the source of or how to cure. The disease slowly made the victims’ skin crinkle and hair gray out like an elderly person’s until they died a few days later. And now the same thing’s happening to Azie! Can she and her new friends find out what’s at the root of the bizarre illness and finally stop it—before she and future generations meet the same untimely fate?
Between Dark and Light is a series of nonconnected children’s horror books featuring strange, eerie, supernatural events. Ages 10 & older!
5 out of 5 fairies
This was an absolutely delightful, creepy, chilling read. Growing up, I was a huge fan of the Goosebumps series. If you loved those books, you’re going to love this one! A bizarre illness, a lovable cast of characters, and a brilliant plot all serve to keep you riveted to the pages once you start reading. There was nothing too dark or scary, just enough to give you some chills and keep you on the edge of your seat. The perfect book to curl up with on a dark, stormy night for kids and adults alike!
