Bookroo's summary

A mysterious book is rumored to consume those who dare to read it. Little Sam Ruskin, sweet Victoria Glassford, and Mr. Singh, the security guard, have all vanished. Will you risk discovering the truth behind this literary monster, or will you heed the warnings and close the cover? The choice is yours, but beware—this book is always hungry. Can you resist its perilous pages, or will curiosity lead you to an unexpected fate? Turn the page if you dare, but remember, not all stories have a happy ending.
