MY REVIEW
Fear Files HIDE and Seek , terrified me! Scientists have identified four levels of fear.
Level 0: NO FEAR
LEVEL 1: LOW FEAR
LEVEL 2: MEDIUM FEAR LEVEL 3 : HIGH FEAR LEVEL 4: BEYOND FEAR
It sounds like a great fun idea! Adam and Sol decided to go camping.When they go for a walk they enter a ghost town, every shop closed. Creepy! No one around.
Adam and Sol play hide and seek. Sol hides. Adam leaves Sol hiding, to walk back alone to their camp area.
But what happens next is the most strangest thing. It scared me stiff.
Children and middle grade readers, if you love watching Stranger Things, then nothing will prepare you for reading Darkvile database file, in this great adventure, Fear Files Hide and Seek.
