ABOUT THE BOOK:
Up in the attic where no one ever goes, there lives a very scary book. He might look scary, but all he wants is a friend. When, one day, he feels brave enough to venture downstairs, he ends up frightening the other books. Will Scary ever be able to find a friend who sees him for who he truly is?
Angela and Tony DiTerlizzi, the bestselling husband-and-wife team behind A Very Cranky Book, have crafted a tale that is both a friendship story and social-emotional fable. It’s the perfect reminder that sometimes good friends can come in unexpected packages.
