The Lonely Below

A chilling middle grade horror debut featuring a Black, autistic protagonist who uncovers dark secrets plaguing her new school.

Blythe Academy isn’t a normal school. Eva can tell--there’s something off, something wrong. She learns that fifty years ago part of the school collapsed, killing a classroom of students and their teacher. Things haven’t been the same since.

Soon, Eva’s having unnerving visions and terrifying run-ins with ghosts. She doesn’t think the collapse was just a tragic accident. It was caused by a malevolent force, and that force is back and hungry for more. Will Eva be able to discover the truth of Blythe Academy and save lives . . . or will it be too late?
