    About this ebook

    The game is on at the International TWIST competition! Finalists from around the world have gathered to match wits at the competition's remote lake camp in Ontario, Canada. One night the lead player, Reza Amari, tells a spooky campfire story about a monster and a man who disappears, leaving behind only a set of shrinking footprints in the mud. All the campers love the creepy story and are still talking about it the next morning—until they find out that Reza has vanished! Now it's up to Lola Evans and Mateo Rivera investigate. What happened to Reza? And what was making that scary howling sound in the middle of the night? Follow along as Lola and Mateo work together to face their fears, track down the clues, and find out the truth behind The Incredible Shrinking Horror!

      MICHAEL DAHL PRESENTS

      Michael Dahl has written about werewolves, magicians, and superheroes. He loves funny books, scary books, and mysterious books. Every Michael Dahl Presents book is chosen by Michael himself and written by an author he loves. The books are about favorite subjects like monster aliens, haunted houses, farting pigs, or magical powers that go haywire. Read on!

      DETECTIVES OF THE IMPOSSIBLE

      Sherlock Holmes is my hero. He is the Great Detective. I discovered him back in the 4th grade, and I’ve been reading about his adventures ever since. He can solve the most puzzling mysteries from the tiniest of clues. Nothing is impossible to him.

      BUT—could Sherlock solve the weird, modern mysteries in these books? Could he figure out how a passenger disappears from a plane that’s flying 30,000 feet in the air? Could he solve the puzzle of how a person seems to shrink to microscopic size? Would he crack the cases of a dead body that falls out of an empty cabinet, or how someone is poisoned inside a locked room? Read on and see if you can outdo Sherlock by solving these mysteries yourself. Or … are they simply impossible?
