Bookroo's summary

Randy, the new kid in town, joins an eerie after-dark game of hide-and-seek on Fear Street. But this isn't just any game—the seeker is a ghost, and being tagged means becoming a spirit forever. As Randy navigates the haunted woods, lake, and cemetery, she must outsmart the spectral seeker who has a special interest in new kids. Can she escape the ghostly fate that awaits her, or will she become the next permanent resident of Fear Street?

A girl gets caught in a deadly game of hide-and-seek in this first book in the Ghosts of Fear Street series from the master of children’s horror, R.L. Stine–now with a reimagined look!

Past the cemetery, where everyone is dying to meet you. New kid in town Randy discovers there’s much more at stake than she thought in the town’s annual after-dark game of hide-and-seek. Turns out, the seeker is the spirit of a long-dead kid from town, and anyone he tags “it” turns into a ghost! Even worse, the spectral seeker has a particular fondness for new kids…
