Bookroo's summary

Lewis Barnavelt and Rose Rita Pottinger are drawn to the eerie Wilder Creek Bridge, where they uncover terrifying secrets and a monstrous threat. As they delve deeper, even the magical powers of Uncle Jonathan and Mrs. Zimmermann might not be enough to save them. Can they unravel the mystery before it's too late, or will the creature lurking in the shadows claim them all? This tale of mystery, adventure, and friendship will keep you on the edge of your seat.

From the publisher

What is it about the old Wilder Creek Bridge that makes Lewis Barnavelt so curious-and so afraid? When Lewis and his best friend Rose Rita Pottinger set out to explore the bridge and the deserted farm nearby, they discover shocking secrets–and a horrifying monster. Even Lewis’s Uncle Jonathan and the magical Mrs. Zimmermann may not be able to vanquish this ferocious creature! “[Strickland’s] characters ring true in this entertaining page-turner that will captivate readers.” –“VOYA” “A wonderful blend of mystery, adventure, ghosts, and friendship.” –“School Library Journal”
