Colton’s worst fears have come true. He’s starting his new school friendless and immediately manages to totally embarrass himself. But then Brea invites him to sit with her at lunch. The girl is so nice and sure of herself. He eagerly joins her growing crew. So what if the kids all dress in the same boring beige clothes. Or act the same. Or say the same weird things about a mysterious “Egg”. (Not to mention that adults have been vanishing since school began.) When Brea brings Colton to her house to fully recruit him into her circle, though, he’ll learn fitting in isn’t all that it’s cracked up to be. For an extraterrestrial evil is nesting inside, and this rotten egg is about to hatch doom on the entire town. Prepared to be scared in this chilling chapter book for young readers by the master of misery and fright, I.M. Dehd.
