Twelve-year-old Hazel Woods has always had an unusual knack for sleuthing. So, when she not-so-accidentally overhears her brother Den planning to sneak into the cemetery at night for an epic game of hide-and-seek, she decides to secretly tag along. This seems like the perfect opportunity to investigate the claims that the cemetery is haunted. But the moment the game ends, Hazel realizes something is very, very wrong. From her hiding spot in the bushes, she overhears that her brother's best friend, Everett, is missing. It's as if he just...vanished. Hazel and Den are determined to find Everett. But as they begin to unravel the terrifying clues that have been appearing since that night in the graveyard--eerie whispers that sound like someone counting, the intermittent smell of smoke, and the cold, lost presence that follows them everywhere--she's not sure what they are dealing with.
