Goodreads

First in a new series about a group of friends navigating the usual school and friendship issues who also happen to find themselves with an unusual supernatural situation. Rebecca is babysitting baby Kyle one night when a freak storm occurs. It’s a freak storm mainly because it seemed to only affect Kyle’s house. Rebecca and her friends with the help of Clio’s Aunt Kawanna become convinced that Kyle has been replaced by a changling and that they have until the next full moon to rescue Kyle. This is a light horror/fantasy book that should serve as a not-too-scary way for young readers to test out the genre.
