What's the price for a little power? For Theo Huxley, it starts with a broken phone and a trip into a mysterious new store: Munteani's Curioddities Shoppe.
Theo has always been the quiet one, the second-best, the kid overshadowed by his popular older brother. But when he stumbles into a bizarre new shop downtown, his life changes forever.
The strange and charming shopkeeper, Emile Munteani, doesn't want money. He offers Theo a gift: a bizarre, two-faced skull. At first, it's just a creepy object for his desk. But then it begins to whisper.
It knows Theo's deepest insecurities-his jealousy of his brother, his frustration with bullies, his desire to finally be seen. It offers him a solution. It offers him power.
As Theo accepts the skull's help, he becomes more confident, more respected, and more feared than he ever imagined. But the whispers are getting darker, and the power is becoming harder to control. The skull didn't just want to help him... it wants to replace him.
The Two-Faced Skull is the first entry in Curioddities, a thrilling new series of standalone middle-grade horror tales. Each book is a new cursed object, a new terrifying adventure.
