The Whispering Locker
by P.J. Crowmarsh
Every wish has a price. Max Chen is about to find out what his costs.
Locker 113 is rusty, ice-cold, and won't stay shut — even when Max swears he locked it. His friend Priya calls it cursed. Max calls that ridiculous.
Then the locker starts to whisper.
It calls itself "a friend." It says it can give Max anything he wants. When Max jokes that he wishes he could ace tomorrow's math test — he does. Perfect score. Except the smartest kid in class spends the whole test throwing up in the nurse's office instead.
Coincidence. Probably.
But Priya's heard the old stories — about a boy named Danny Ruiz who had locker 113 before him, who made wish after wish... and then stopped showing up to school. Nobody talks about where he went.
Now Max has to figure out what locker 113 really wants — before it decides it's done waiting, and starts collecting on its own.
The first spine-tingling book in the Shivergrove series.
