Here's the third book in the Monsterious series-terrifying tales that combine monsters + mysteries, perfect for fans of Goosebumps. "Spine-chilling and creepy!" -Max Brallier, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Last Kids on Earth, on Escape From Grimstone Manor (Monsterious, Book 1) Twelve-year-old Tegan and his friends are excited to set out on a weeklong backpacking trip through the wilderness in Shadow Canyon, known for its vast forests and jaw-droppingly deep canyon. But after the group sets off on a little-used trail to visit a remote waterfall, they soon discover that the path markers they've been following have mysteriously disappeared, leaving them hopelessly lost. As Tegan and his friends try to find their way back to civilization, they begin to notice strange things in the woods- small, oblong stones dotting the landscape in unexpected formations, tree roots that seem to be moving on their own, and creepy glowing eyes peering out of the shadows at night. Before long, they discover that something sinister stalks the forest-a creature with a hunger for human flesh. Can they make it out of Shadow Canyon alive
Praise for Terror in Shadow Canyon (Monsterious, Book 3):
"A strength of the series and this title in particular is the tight focus on plotting while characters also work through complex problems . . . McMann strikes a balance between suspenseful storytelling and strong characterization in another quick-moving, action-packed story with plenty of gore and terror . . . A creepy camping catastrophe that will give even the most stoic readers the shivers."Kirkus Reviews
