About This Book
In R.L. Stine's classic 'Welcome to Dead House,' 11-year-old Josh and 12-year-old Amanda move with their family to a new, unsettling town and into a house that feels undeniably haunted. Their parents dismiss their fears, urging them to make new friends, but the local kids are eerily peculiar. As the siblings explore their new surroundings, including a shortcut through a cemetery, they uncover a terrifying secret about their new home and its inhabitants. This book is a perfect introduction to mild horror for middle-grade readers, offering suspense, mystery, and Stine's signature twist ending.
