A Night Game Allie Compeau

There are no monsters under the bed, and things that go "bump" in the night are just the product of an overactive imagination-or are they? Little sisters aren't always made of sugar, spice, and all things nice-but annoying little pests. Just ask Owen and Hugh, Imogen's bigger twin brothers who are tired of their four-year-old sibling constantly getting them into trouble and lying about it. The two teenagers are woken up by a loud crash one night-and discover that Imogen has gone missing and their parents are in a deep sleep from which they cannot be woken. Frantically searching the house and garden, they soon find themselves in the forest-a dark, foreboding place at night filled with dangerous secrets. As the boys venture deeper into the forest, they find themselves dragged into a world filled with mysterious creatures-some out to help them, others dark creatures who seek to harm them. One thing is for sure: they have only a few short hours to find Imogen and get back home before it's too late. As Owen and Hugh race against the relentless ticking-down of the clock, they find themselves battling monsters in a magical dimension. Breakfast is coming-and if they don't find Imogen before sunrise, they may never see her again. Can Owen and Hugh triumph against the darkness and rescue their sister?
