As you can tell by the cover, this one is spooky. Fans of
Goosebumps will love this one. It is on the Great Stone Face list of nominees for 2019-2020. Ollie stumbles upon a woman ready to throw a book in a pond. She prevents the hysterical woman from doing so, and begins reading it. What she thinks is a fictional novel is actually a diary of sorts, describing a deal with the Smiley-faced man, who will trade your greatest wish for your soul. When Ollie and her class go on a field trip to the farm where this allegedly took place, the broken watch of her deceased mom starts beeping RUN. It was a unique, fast-paced creepy tale of courage and friendship. (FIC ARD)
