Bookroo's summary

Zenith Maelstrom is haunted by forgotten memories and cryptic notes urging him to prepare for battle. When his sister Apogee vanishes into a sinister bag, he must confront the terrifying world of GrahBhag. With monstrous foes like Raggedy Albert and the Wraith lurking, Zenith races to rescue Apogee and mend their fractured bond. But danger looms at every turn, and if caught, Eternity Tower awaits. Will Zenith unravel the mysteries of his past and save his sister, or will the horrors of GrahBhag consume them both?

From the publisher

From the creator of My Life As a Teenage Robot comes the second story in a middle-grade horror series about a horrible bag, the spine-chilling world hidden within it, and a terrifying adventure into the world of GrahBhag. Perfect for fans of Coraline, the Spiderwick Chronicles, and Small Spaces. Zenith Maelstrom knows he’s forgetting something… But he can’t quite remember what. He wakes up to notes in his handwriting with messages like, “Prepare for battle!” - but what battle? - and his sister Apogee seems to grow angrier with him by the day. It’s not until he finds Apogee sneaking back into the horrible bag hidden away in their basement that all the dreadful details about GrahBhag resurface. The spiderlike Shlurps. The trio of foul mouths that hunger for blood. Eldritch horrors around every corner. Desperate to save Apogee from her ill-planned attempt to right the wrongs of their last trip into the bag, Zenith is forced to follow her into the bizarre world that has certainly not forgotten them. Between old foes set on vengeance like Raggedy Albert and terrifying new ones like the haunting Wraith, Zenith will have to put things right with his sister without falling into the clutches of those who would do him harm. For if he is caught, Eternity Tower awaits… With a combination of dry, absurdist humor and no-holds-barred horror, Rob Renzetti has crafted a delightfully imaginative fantasy world that will hook readers as surely as it will send chills down their spines.
