This story is amazing! I was completely hooked from the first page. I barely put it down!
Violet's Dad is a paranormal investigator and he's a bout to go on a big case and doesn't think Violet will be safe so he sends her off to summer camp. Violet really doesn't want to go.
She does manage to make two friends Hector, the kid that everyone bullies, and Kelly, the uber athlete.
So when Hector claims he actually saw Happy Harry the scary demon from the camp stories, Violet doesn't know what to think. (and neither do I) Is it one of the bullies? Is this Happy Harry for real?
I spent most of the book trying to decide if this was a real haunting or a Scooby-Doo mystery. Either way it would have been just as good I think. There is so much going on that it really keeps you guessing practically up to the end.

Awesome book. I was excited to grab this book, sit in the dark, and read until I had to turn the lights on.
