Tomorrow's news is already printed. The problem is, none of it has happened yet.
Thirteen-year-old Mina Patel knows a school newspaper is supposed to report the facts, not predict the future.
Then an unauthorized copy of the Briar Bulletin: Midnight Edition appears before school with an impossible headline:
HALLOWEEN BANNER SPLITS AT 12:05
At exactly 12:05, it does.
Then another Midnight Edition appears.
This time, it predicts that part of Briar Glen Middle School's Halloween lights will go dark at a precise time. When that headline comes true too, the jokes stop. Students begin watching the clocks and wondering what the strange newspaper will predict next.
Mina doesn't believe it can see the future.
As a Bulletin fact-checker, she notices details other people miss, and something about the Midnight Edition refuses to add up. Maybe the newspaper isn't predicting these events at all.
Maybe someone is making the headlines come true.
With Halloween Night approaching, Mina and her friend Theo must follow the clues, test their suspicions, and figure out who is behind the Midnight Edition before its next headline becomes reality.
Because three predictions have already come true. And Halloween Night is still ahead.
The Halloween Headline That Came True is a fast-paced Fall Shadows mystery filled with clever clues, school secrets, and spooky Halloween suspense, with a real-world solution readers can try to solve alongside Mina.
