SHADOW PINES
Book Two of The Gymnasium Mysteries by PauCongratulations! You've returned to Shadow Pines, the abandoned high school that every sane adult avoids and every brave (or hungry) creature seems to adore. In Book One, our heroes barely escaped the creepy tunnels and the suspiciously clean pool. So naturally, in Book Two... they go right back in.
Why? Because this time, the school didn't just act spooky. It took someone.
When Sally suddenly disappears inside the old building, Proswell, Jasmine, Charlie Jr. (the unwilling screamer), Mapo, Eva, and Pucha must face the truth:
The creature under the school is awake, annoyed, and apparently collecting people like Pokémon cards.
Armed with flashlights, Tito's mysterious old journals, questionable bravery, and way too much nervous energy, the rescue mission begins. What they find beneath the gym floor is a maze of shifting hallways, hungry shadows, tunnels that lie, a water creature with boundary issues, and a biological home décor style that really needs therapy.
And then... they find something no one expected:
Tito.
Alive. Weak. And being kept like the world's saddest houseplant.Now the team must outrun a monster that whispers with familiar voices, escape tunnels that try to eat them, and drag two very exhausted captives back to daylight-all while Charlie Jr. screams at absolutely everything.
SHADOW PINES is a spooky, heartwarming, laugh-out-loud continuation of The Gymnasium Mysteries. Perfect for readers who enjoy:
- Funny horror with zero boring moments
- Haunted schools behaving like jealous exes
- Found family, brave kids, and moms who fight monsters
- A little fear... and a lot of hope
Welcome back to Shadow Pines-where the gym creaks, the pool sparkles, and the creature politely asks you to come closer. (Do not come closer.)
