Excerpt:

     The shadow slowly turned its attention toAlex. He stood tall, not showing the fear that was ravaging his body.
     “Alex, be careful,” warned his mom.
     “It’s okay.” Alex stood firm.
     The dark figure let out an ear-piercing screech, and Alexburied his head in his jacket. Again, it changed its focus and twisted towardthe back seat of the car—Wilby. It held the statue down toward the earth, andthe car started to rock back and forth.
     “Wilby!” his mom screamed as she struggled to break free.
     Alex’s heart pounded; the death freeze of the dark spiritwas coming, and it was very close.
     “Ma, that thing is summoning the beast!” Alex’s voicedripped with fear.
     “Alex, I don’t know what to do. I can’t move. Is Wilbystill sleeping?”
     “Yes.”
     “Good.” She wiped her upper lip with her sleeve. “What ifhe wakes up?”
     The vibration in his front pocket distracted him. Alexslipped out his phone; his gram’s picture lit up like a beacon.
     “Gram, we’re in trouble,” Alex whispered.
     “I know. Listen carefully, Bonzetta. Tell your mother weare going to use the prayer of light. I will do what I need from here.”
     “What do I do?” Alex’s palms dripped with sweat fromanxiety, and he nearly dropped the phone.
     “Just repeat what we say, okay?”
     “Okay.”
     He didn’t want to shout their plan, so he texted it to hismom. “Ma, look at your phone.”
     She slipped it out of her purse and read the message.Then,nodding in agreement, she waited.
