Synopsis

In this scary story for fans of Neil Gaiman, The Last Kids on Earth, and Goosebumps, the only way out is krazier than you could ever imagine...

Nathan used to be terrified of Krazyland when he was a young kid. 
 
Now that he's 12, the spooky-themed arcade games aren't that bad. He even enjoys stomping on plastic spiders and battling a creepy doll with big plastic eyes. But things become scarier again when kids start to go missing from the entertainment park...
 
There's another world exists beneath Kraztown's ball pit. A world where the entertainment park's games come to life. And if he isn't careful, Nathan is going to be the next one sucked under!

I received a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review. *** While I'm certainly not the target demographic for this book, I found it to be just the right amount of creepy adventure for a middle grade kid.

Goodreads review by Julie

Oh how I wanted to like this book- I did like it the first half, but then it just fizzled like a deflating balloon towards the end. I really felt like Mar could have wrapped this book up in 100 pages, easily. The premise is fantastic- Nathan hates Krazyland, ball pits, big plastic spiders and all. B......more
