Book Cover & Preview Text
"Sh-h," Ben whispered. "Did you hear that?" There was a kind of scraping noise coming from the back of the house. He quickly reached out to turn off the kitchen light, and dashed to the window. The street light partially revealed a crouched figure near the edge of the grape arbor that lined the back porch. Ben reached for the outdoor light switch, but just then the shadowy figure leaped up and disappeared into the darkness of the back yard.
