One creepy house. One mysterious remote. And a whole lot of buttons that should NEVER be pressed.
Everyone on Juniper Street knows to stay away from the abandoned Wicker house. The windows are boarded up, the yard is overgrown, and strange stories have surrounded the place for years.
Twelve-year-old Jaden knows better than to go inside.
Unfortunately, his best friend Marcus doesn't.
When Jaden, Marcus, their quick-thinking friend Priya, and Jaden's six-year-old sister Mia venture into the house, they discover something that shouldn't exist: a strange black remote control with the power to pause time, change reality, and turn the ordinary world upside down.
At first, the remote seems almost unbelievable. But when televisions begin delivering mysterious warnings, neighbors start behaving strangely, and a ghostly child appears with a terrifying message, the friends realize they've taken something they were never supposed to touch.
Now the world around them is changing, their families are in danger, and a mysterious boy named Danny wants everyone to join his twisted game.
With sunset approaching, Jaden and his friends must uncover the truth behind the Wicker house before they're trapped in a nightmare they can't switch off.
Because in this game, pressing the wrong button could mean staying forever.
The Remote is a spooky, funny, and fast-paced middle-grade horror adventure by young author Annie Kay, filled with haunted technology, creepy surprises, unlikely heroes, and the kind of chills that make you think twice before picking up the TV remote.
