    About this ebook

    In this fourth installment in the spooky and silly series that’s perfect for fans of Goosebumps and Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark, a boy ignites the wrath of the neighborhood squirrels!

    The last thing Dillon Ford should have done was to throw a tennis ball at the squirrel. He didn’t mean to hit it. And he certainly didn’t mean for it to fall out of the tree. But now the squirrels are after him. They have the house surrounded. They’re on the roof, at every window, and coming down the chimney and through the mail slot. Dillon is a boy under siege and one thing is for sure…the squirrels are pretty nutty!

      To Shane, Zachary, Logan, Ainsley, Sawyer, and Braeden—the Trap Pond Crew… and also to the squirrel I hit with that football

      Greetings, friends… once again, it is I, the Keeper, your mysterious guide into the strange and unexplainable events of Wolver Hollow. By now, you may have experienced some, or all, of the other thrilling and chilling tales of weirdness that have befallen this quirky little town. Or perhaps you are new to these dark shadows and even darker secrets. But whether you have been here before, or are visiting for the first time, I must warn you-what I am about to share with you is a tale so terrifying, so shocking, that even I have trouble believing that it ever happened. But happen it did, and so, without further ado, let me take you to that fateful, sweltering summer, and a boy by the name of Dillon… Dillon Ford.

      1

      Dillon!

      Thump… Thump… Thump…

      Dillon Ford! called his mom, from the bottom of the stairs.

      Thump… Thump… Thump…

      I know you can hear me! Stop bouncing that tennis ball against your wall and go outside!

      Dillon lay on his bed, head at the foot of it and feet planted on the wall. One foot on either side of his Captain Duke Ross, Galactic Hero poster. Duke Ross pointed one gloved finger at Dillon and stared right at him. I WANT YOU FOR THE MARS EXPEDITIONARY FORCE read the caption at the bottom of the poster.

      Dillon tossed the tennis ball against the wall again—thump—and caught it.

      But it’s so hot outside, he hollered back.

      "Do not make me come up there!" Mom said.

      But there’s nothing to do!

      Thump.

      Find something to do!

      I am!

      Thump.

      Something besides driving me crazy with that tennis ball! Mom said.

      Dillon groaned and threw the ball against the wall one last time.

      Thump.

      Fine, he said. I’ll go outside.

      Thank you, said Mom.

      But if I die of heatstroke, it won’t be my fault, Dillon said.

      I’ll send you out with plenty of lemonade, said Mom. Crisis averted.

      Dillon swung his legs off the bed, pulled on his sneakers, and shuffled out of his bedroom. Maybe Mikey was home, he thought. Mikey Dillman was his best friend and lived next door. The Dillmans had gone on a family camping trip, and Dillon had been bored out of his mind all week. If the station wagon was in the driveway, that would mean they were finally home. Dillon’s tree house had a perfect view over the hedge wall that separated his house from Mikey’s.

      As promised, Mom had a full water bottle of lemonade waiting for him.

      Thank you, said Dillon, taking a big swig. He tossed the tennis ball up and caught it. I’ll be in my base, drinking my own sweat when the lemonade runs out.

      Oh, knock it off, Mom said. Before you know it, summer will be over and you’ll be back in school. You’ll wish you had these long, lazy, hot days of summer vacation.

      Dillon shrugged and, with tennis ball in hand, headed out the back door.

      The tree house had been built into the thick limbs and full canopy of a mighty oak tree, right
