The NIGHTMARYS by Dan Poblocki 325 pages

You can tell be the title that the author hopes to scare the pants off of you. Two seventh graders, Timothy and Abigail unite to try to break an ancient family curse involving a powerful stolen, jawbone and an old children's mystery book. When they take a class field trip to a museum strange stuff happens. Both Timothy and Abigail are haunted by their greatest fears. Luckily, Abigail's grandmother is a big help at fighting their foes. I didn't find this to be a quick read -- rather mildly suspenseful.
