Gamey and ScaryCommenter: Anya, grade 4
this book is spooky and mostly about murderers.
Joshua and Artie have been best friends since Kindergarten. Over the years Artie has told some pretty amazing stories, claiming that 'It is really true!.' So when he tells Joshua that their neighbor has killed her husband and buried his body in the backyard, Joshua is sure that this is another flight of imagination. However there is a flower bed just about 7' long in the lady's backyard and her husband hasn't been seen in a while. When Joshua overhears a conversation in which the lady tells a neighbor that the poison worked well. Could Artie be on to something? Shouldn't they tell their parents or the police? Or, as Artie suggests, should they gather 'evidence,' like a dead body, before they tell anyone?
