An old library. A secret subterranean archive. And a mystery buried deep beneath the Scottish moors.
Aiden isn't afraid of a little trouble. If a door is locked, he figures it's just begging to be picked. His best friend, Iain? He'd much rather stay inside, eat shepherd's pie, and watch nature documentaries. But when Blackwood Village's eighty-four-year-old librarian, Mr. Jones, vanishes into thin air, Aiden drags Iain right into the heart of the mystery.
Sneaking into the library after dark, the boys find the Restricted Archives completely trashed. Papers are shredded, filing cabinets are overturned, and the only clue left behind is Mr. Jones's pristine white handling glove-and a mysterious, glowing skeleton key that points straight toward the forbidden Old Well in the woods.
As a tall, click-clacking shadow begins stalking them through the mist, Aiden and Iain realize they haven't just stumbled onto a crime scene. They've unlocked an ancient subterranean archive protected by creatures made of ink and shadow-and restarting the clock might cost them more than just a missed curfew.
To save their town and bring Mr. Jones back, Aiden will have to face a dangerous truth: in Blackwood, the stories don't just stay on the page.
Perfect for fans of Goosebumps, Lockwood & Co., and fast-paced, spooky adventures!
