Bookroo's summary

Nicky Roth hasn't seen his friends Aaron and Mya for months. Their father claims they're with relatives, but Nicky's nightmares suggest otherwise. Haunted by visions of robotic mannequins and decaying theme parks, Nicky and his school friends embark on a chilling quest to uncover the truth. As they delve deeper, they realize the neighbor's house holds terrifying secrets. Can Nicky unravel the mystery and save his friends before it's too late? The screams from next door suggest time is running out, and the truth is more disturbing than they ever imagined.

From the publisher

Don’t miss this pulse-pounding original story, the sequel to Hello Neighbor: Missing Pieces, based on the hit video game from tinyBuild!It’s been four months since Nicky Roth has seen his best friend and neighbor, Aaron Peterson. Aaron’s father, a reclusive theme park designer, told the town that Aaron and his sister Mya are living with a relative far away, but Nicky can’t seem to accept it. Plagued by terrifying nightmares of robotic mannequins, rotting theme parks, and a dark basement, Nicky teams up with his friends from school to find out what really happened to Aaron and Mya. Together, they start piecing together a picture more disturbing than they could have imagined. The screams coming from the neighbor’s house can’t be nothing, and Nicky is determined to get to the bottom of where his friends went, and what-if anything-can be done to save them. This pulse-pounding prequel novel to the hit video game Hello Neighbor includes two-color illustrations throughout, to help readers unwind the mystery at the heart of the game.
