Donovan and Mark are always giving their friend Alex a hard time. When Alex buys an old TV/VCR at the local antique shop, they tease him about wasting his money. But Alex sees something in it that his friends don't. Then he starts acting strange. Will Donovan and Mark figure out what's going on with him before it's too late? In the fictional town of Scarecrow, California, tweens keep discovering mysterious and sometimes magical objects at the Vintage Rose Antique Shop. When they take these objects home, strange things begin to happen. Does the family who inherited the store have an active imagination? Or is the store really haunted? Each story is a tale about a specific relic found at the store. Stories will appeal to the most reluctant reader who enjoys the mysterious and somewhat creepy.
