Bookroo's summary
Ouchie and Squishy adore bowling at the rundown Bowl-A-Rama, but when the city plans to shut it down, they're crushed. Teaming up with the eccentric owner, Gazebo Zamboni, they launch a contest to save it. Yet, as Squishy's wild fantasies of zombies and killer clowns start manifesting, the boys face a chilling reality. Can they uncover the truth behind these eerie events and keep the alley open, or will their beloved hangout be lost forever? Dive into a tale where imagination and reality collide in the most unexpected ways.
