Although this book is primarily aimed at teenagers, taking a break from more mature reads to enjoy a lighthearted, easy‑to‑follow story is a refreshing change. I found it thoroughly captivating, leaving me eager to turn the pages and discover what happens next. All in all, I really enjoyed it.

This one is truly excellent, and the plot is even richer than in the first book. It seems each installment in this series features different characters, much like the “Goosebumps” series, so the pacing shifts nicely.

New kid Aiden isn’t thrilled about the move, but as he wanders into the woods and discovers a hidden well, he finds a glimmer of solace. Every time he visits the well, he feels like he can finally be himself. It’s a safe haven where he can confide in it about the three classmates who’ve been bullying him, and no longer feel alone. However, this brief respite doesn’t last long—soon, the well begins to exact revenge on unsuspecting Aiden. When Aiden realizes that the well and its terrifying inhabitants may be behind all the town’s misfortunes, he resolves to step up and, with the help of an unexpected ally, put a stop to the growing chaos.

Edgar J. Hyde (pen name)
No one knows Edgar’s date of birth. Some say he might be a vampire, perhaps born hundreds of years ago. Others claim he is a ghost. Whatever he is, he certainly knows a great many ghost stories. Though his exact birthdate remains a mystery, it is known that Edgar was born in Scotland, into an ancient Celtic family who would gather around the hearth each evening to tell tales. In his Creepers collection, Edgar retells many of these chilling stories. He began publishing his work in 1997; his writings have been translated into five languages and distributed across four continents. His books have been available worldwide for over twenty years—and he still has plenty more stories to share!
The author has written more than forty children’s books under various pseudonyms, including the Death Detective series, which was originally published under the pen name Felix Bogart. In 2024, the series resumed using the name Edgar J. Hyde. Additionally, Edgar J. Hyde has also penned the My Monster Sleepover series under yet another pseudonym.
In fact, Edgar J. Hyde is not a single real author, but rather a collective pen name shared by a team of writers. The name is a playful nod to Edgar Allan Poe and Robert Louis Stevenson’s classic, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. The principal authors behind this pseudonym include Joan Love, Alan J. Henderson, Simon Bedding, and Joseph Boyle, among others.
