Sign the yearbook. Vanish from the school. Nobody will remember you were here.
Rashad Coleman has photographed all 340 kids at Ottley Middle School. Every gap-toothed smile. Every blink. Every kid making bunny ears behind somebody's head. He knows the exact number because he took all 1,412 pictures himself - and he knows exactly how many photos he is in.
Zero. Behind the camera, nobody looks at you. That's the whole point.
Then a yearbook nobody ordered shows up in the production room. It's too heavy. It's cold to the touch. And the acid-green ink inside it never, ever dries.
When someone signs a photo in that book, the student in the picture disappears. Not runs away. Disappears. Their face flattens into the page with their mouth stretched open - and by lunch, nobody in the entire school remembers they were ever born. Not their friends. Not their teachers. Not even their parents.
Rashad remembers. He's the only one who does, because he's the only kid nobody ever photographed. And now his classmates are vanishing one page at a time, and his loud, unstoppable, two-hundred-signatures best friend Etta just picked up the pen.
There's one way to bring them all back. Rashad has to sign his own photo. And the book is already open.
Inside this book:
- A cursed yearbook that eats the kids who get signed
- A shy hero who's invisible on purpose - until it's the only thing that can save everyone
- A best friend worth trading yourself for
- Fifteen short chapters with a cliffhanger every few pages
- A last-page twist that will make you check your own school photos
Perfect for reluctant readers ages 8-12. Creep Street books are fast, funny, genuinely spooky standalone novellas built for kids who say they don't like reading - short chapters, big scares, no gore, and an ending nobody sees coming. Read them in any order. Every single one is a doorway on the same creepy street.
Great for 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 6th grade readers, classroom libraries, school book fairs, road trips, sleepovers, and gift-giving to any kid who loves being scared in the best possible way.
Class photos are due Friday. Whatever you do - do not sign my yearbook.
