Escapade Johnson may always feel like the most boring kid in the most normal town in the least thrilling state in the country, yet he once again finds himself in another madcap adventure.
When a discussion is sparked in class about whether or not witches exist, the conversation quickly turns to the three strange old ladies from town that live together in a creepy old house.
Escapade and the fifth graders from Sanbornton Elementary School have their hands full when they encounter flashing lights, creatures of the night, and dark basement laboratories as
they investigate the spooky residence at the end of a deserted road. Humorous and imaginative, this lively tale reflects on the nature of stereotypes and prejudices while suggesting that
even the strangest occurrences can have reasonable explanations.
