About this book
Who’s afraid of the ghosts of Fear Street? Not Kelsey Moore. She’s lived on Fear Street all her life, and she’s not afraid of anything. Until she meets Madame Valda—a strange old woman who says she can see into the future. She tells Kelsey that only fools are fearless. Kelsey just laughs.
But Kelsey isn’t laughing when she climbs into bed…and finds it full of disgusting sand crabs. Or when she goes for a swim…and finds the ocean swarming with giant jellyfish! Now Kelsey is on edge all the time. Has Madame Valda doomed her to live in fear forever?
