The Knick-Knack Man — Jeff Miller

Six schoolgirl friends form a club to investigate ghosts. Yet as they get pulled into the Knick-Knack Man legend, and this old man appears when they summons him, one by one it claims their lives. Just like the rumor Jena first heard at school, and they researched during their sleepover, the internet legend proved true. But defying their vote, two of them experiment with it, and Jena if the first to go. Next, Kelsey gets abducted, and her little sister, Kinsley, will not let it go. Yet then, the third one--Taylor, is murdered also, and three remain to take on a new challenge: figure out how to stop this phantom's siege of terror and death. You won't want to miss what is about to unfold in the first book of this ghost hunting series, as an age-old nursery rhyme comes to life--in a malevolent way: a secret that only the blackbirds seem to know, while the scarecrow stands and watches.Once you recite the incantation: This old man, he played four. He played knick-knack on my door, then go and unlock your front door-inviting him in, he is summonsed. Then he sneaks into your bedroom at night, with his scroungy little dog following, and leans on his cane staring at you. And if they don't get what they are after, they'll come back. The first morning, you wake up and your thumb hurts. On the third day your knee aches, and the fifth morning, you're dead (this old man, he played five. He played knick-knack on my hide). Find out what unfolds as Tiffany, Hailey, and especially Kinsley are left to solve this intense page turning mystery.
