A hilariously creepy middle grade novel from award-winning author Caleb Roehrig!
Poe has spent his whole life wishing he could meet a ghost, but when he moves into a real-life haunted house, he discovers that communing with the other side might be a little more than he bargained for.Twelve-year-old Edgar Alden, also known as Poe, has always been an outcast. Obsessed with the macabre, he's never remotely hit it off with other kids. Only Grandma ever really understood his love for the supernatural, but when she dies and his parents move into a dilapidated house on the other side of town, things for Poe quickly go from bad to worse.
You see, Poe has a roommate. A dead one. A 12-year-old ghost named Violet, who's been stuck haunting Poe's room for longer than she can remember. Violet is territorial, kind of annoying, and tethered to the human world by her doll, Baby Jessica.
But Poe quickly discovers that Violet isn't the only spirit haunting his house. There's a vengeful, violent entity in his basement. And it's up to Poe to find a way to help them both cross to the other side.
Creepy Kid is a heartfelt but page-turning exploration of grief, moving on, and finding one's place in the world--sure to make middle grade readers laugh, cry, and wonder about the mysteries that might lie on the other side.
