The 99th Step: A Middle Grade Horror Story: A Spooky Supernatural Mystery for Kids Ages 8-12 (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798248075263)

WATCH YOUR STEP... IT MIGHT BE YOUR LAST!

Sarah is a counter. She counts the tiles in the kitchen. She counts the cracks in the sidewalk. And she definitely counts the steps in her Great-Aunt Martha's creaky old Victorian house.

One, two, three... ninety-eight.

Every night, it's the same. Ninety-eight steps to the top. But tonight, Sarah's foot doesn't hit the landing. It hits another step.

Ninety-nine.

Suddenly, the house she knows is gone. In its place is a hallway that stretches for miles, lined with heavy, wooden doors. Doors to rooms that shouldn't exist. Doors that hide things that _really_ shouldn't exist.

From the darkness at the very end of the hall comes a terrifying sound. _Thud-drag. Thud-drag._ Something is pacing. Something is waiting for Sarah to finish her count. Sarah's always been good at math-but if she doesn't figure out how to get back to step one, her time might just be up!
