Transylvania County - Hardcover

The Hardy Boys meets Gravity Falls in this delightfully spooky middle grade adventure about a small town with secrets, the monster lurking in its shadows, and the misunderstood new kid who has to believe the unbelievable to save them all.

Digby Romer has never lived in one place for very long; despite his best intentions, he's managed to get kicked out of every European boarding school his parents have shipped him off to. Now, his dad has dragged him to live with his aunt and uncle in small-town USA, with hopes that a slower-paced life will finally fix Dig's so-called "behavioral issues."

But all is not well here in Transylvania County, even if the locals insist that the legends of cryptids and monsters lurking in the woods are nothing more than lore. On his first night in town, Dig is convinced that he spots a gigantic, fanged beast in the woods--but nobody believes him. And then the school's PE teacher disappears, replaced by a greasy, suspicious man named Renfield who must have an ulterior motive. When more people begin to disappear, Dig sets off with a ragtag crew--his smartypants cousin, the bossy class president, and a survivalist loner--to get to the bottom of things.

Something is hunting in Transylvania County, and these kids might have to break a few rules to find out who. Luckily, if there's one thing Dig is good at, it's making trouble.
