Sam James has two boy names, one spooky obsession, and zero interest in being “normal.” She knows how to survive middle school: don’t wear brand-new clothes on day one, never sit near the sneezy kids at lunch, and for the love of all things undead—don’t stand out.But Sam’s got a problem. She’s obsessed with Halloween. Like, year-round haunted-house-level obsessed. Creepy décor, monster movies, vintage costumes—her room looks like a prop shop exploded.When the new girl calls her “Halloweirdo,” Sam’s social life flatlines faster than a B-movie zombie. Suddenly, she’s the school’s favorite punchline—and not in a funny way.Now Sam has to decide: ditch her weirdness to blend in, or embrace her inner ghoul and show everyone that being different is its own kind of power.
