Bookroo's summary

At the Bailey School, a trip to the ice cream shop turns eerie when the kids meet Scout, a mysterious girl seeking a stone house near the cemetery. Suspecting she's a ghoul aiding a vampire family, the kids must unravel her true intentions. Can they prevent a new monster family from settling in Bailey City, or will the town face a chilling new reality? Dive into this suspenseful adventure where every clue could lead to a spine-tingling discovery.

From the publisher

The hugely popular early chapter book series re-emerges with a new look! Brand-new eye-catching cover art brings a modern feel to this classic monster series for young readers. It’s just a normal day for the Bailey School kids. That’s until they head to their favorite ice cream shop and meet Scout, the new girl working the counter. Clad in dark clothing and with a hollow and forlorn look on her face, Scout tells the kids that she’s in town to find a house for the family she works for. When she adds that she’s interested in finding a home that’s made of stone and has no windows near the cemetery, the kids realize Scout must be a ghoul looking for a home for a family of vampires. Will the kids be able to stop Scout from bringing a new family of monsters to Bailey City?
