In the first book of a brand new series by horror master R.L. Stine, Danielle Warner and her family have just moved into a new house. Since Danielle's little brother Peter can be quite a pest, she sometimes wishes he had never been born. The house can make Danielle's wish come true. Surefire comedy erupts when social outcasts become unlikely best friends. Harold Schernoff, 14-year-old science whiz and social nerd, has a theory for every problem, from dating, to bullies, to making money. When he and his buddy team up to put his theories to the test, nothing goes according to plan.
