This book was written by Scott Cawthon, the same developer of the “Five Nights at Freddy’s” horror series. This book is made up of 3 short stories of 3 different characters. Oswald, a boy who is bored out of his mind during summer vacation, finds a secret in the creepy local pizza place. Sarah, a girl who is ashamed of her body, and finds a scary animatronic in a dumpster. And Millie, a depressed girl that’s mean to her grandpa and finds something odd in her grandpa’s shed. The story has some scary moments inside, so readers beware!
This book isn’t only an amazing horror and thriller, it gives the reader an important lesson that will remain useful in the future. For Oswald, be grateful for what you have. For Sarah, everyone is beautiful and unique in their own way. And for Millie, listen and appreciate what your loved ones do for you before it’s too late. These lessons are important for the reader to know, even if this is just a horror book. The plot is also great, seeing a few average kids encounter animatronics that haunted my childhood. A great book that’s really recommended, especially if you played the game.
A memorable part is Millie’s story. Millie is going through an emo phase and despises everything, she thinks happiness is fake and hates her grandpa. However, when she realizes what she did, she wanted to go back and fix her relationship with her family. However, by then it was too late. It was a very touching story and I highly recommend you read the book.
