    About this ebook

    Ellie may be new to the gated community of Whitmore Way, but she can tell right away that something about her neighbors is very, very wrong. They dress perfectly. They speak perfectly. They even act perfectly—much too perfectly, in fact. And that’s not all. Every time she looks around, they are watching her. They even have a Neighborhood Watch group they want her parents to join. What is up with these weird people? And why do the mirrors in her house seem like they are watching her too? Mystery abounds as Ellie uncovers the ghastly truth behind the watchers of Whitmore Way!

      My brother Eli and I are lying on the couch, both of us nearly asleep, Eli’s toenails gently kneading my neck. I’m raising my throat to their sharpness, wanting him to press in, when from the next room we hear chimes. Then two clangs. Then: “Hello?”

      MICHAEL DAHL PRESENTS

      Michael Dahl has written about werewolves, magicians, and superheroes. He loves funny books, scary books, and mysterious books.

      SHARE THE FEAR!

      You are not alone. And I don’t mean that a creature lurks in the dark shadows of your bedroom. Or a slimy menace lives under your bed. (Although that might be true.) I mean, you are not alone in being afraid. Everyone is afraid of something. Every. Single. Person. Reading about other people’s fears in these weird tales, you might learn how to overcome your own.

      Or you might learn how to escape from zombie teachers attacking the school. Both are good things to know. Just be sure to leave the lights on while reading!

      A DASH OF HOPE

      Ellie! her mom called. Stop sulking and grab something.

      Ellie slumped against the moving van and rolled her eyes. She hadn’t wanted to move—so why did she have to help? She looked at her brand-new house. It was huge and beige and boring. The house next door looked just like it.
