About this item
Are you afraid of the dark? Stella Batts never thought she was. In fact shes not feeling afraid of anything right now. Shes just excited. Her class read the most books out of every class in school. The prize is a sleepover in the library. What could be better than that? Everyone is in pajamas, even the teachers. The kids break off into groups to go on a scavenger hunt. Thats when Stella finds a really old book by an author who is also named Stella B. Though the subject matter is nothing this Stella would ever write about. And then theres an unexpected visitor who shows up in the middle of the night. Stella doesnt know what to think, but she knows one thing for sure--shes scared of the dark now!
