Synopsis

The bone-chilling, instantly New York Times bestselling tale of an unsettling, unbreakable friendship—from acclaimed horror author Paul Tremblay.“All the questions we ask as kids about who we are and what we’re worth take a terrifying turn in this spooky tale of a sinister, inhuman imposter and the nightmares he brings. Tremblay has taken the world of horror for adults by storm, and in his middle-grade debut, once again, he serves up scenes that will make you squirm long after the book is closed.” —M.T. Anderson, National Book Award WinnerWhen Casey Wilson’s parents tell him that his friend is coming for a sleepover, he has no idea who that might be. Ever since the Zoom Incident, everyone treats him like a pariah, and his tics are worse than ever. When Morel appears, he’s not like any friend Casey has ever met. His skin is like clay, and he doesn’t speak. But Casey’s parents are charmed by the strange kid, and it’s nice to have someone to talk to besides his sister, Ally, who is away at college. As his normally loving parents grow distant from Casey, they gush and fawn over Morel. Casey knows something is wrong—but with no end in sight to the sleepover, he’s exhausted. And in the dark, out of the corner of his eye, Morel doesn’t look like a kid at all. . . .Perfect for Halloween ReadingIdeal for fans of the supernaturalFeatures light scares

I received a free copy of, Another, by Paul Tremblay, from the publisher and Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. Casey's parents have invited his new "friend", over for a sleep over.

Goodreads review by Mallory on April 20, 2025

I really enjoy Paul Tremblay’s adult books so I was excited when I saw he had done a middle grade novel. This definitely had R.L. Stine vibes and I enjoyed it a lot. I think it would make an excellent tv movie or something. I wasn’t sure how to feel about the pandemic being the backdrop of the story......more

Goodreads review by thevampireslibrary on December 04, 2024

Parents are always so infuriatingly oblivious to the horror, aren't they? This is middle grade but don't let that put you off. This is horror that will resonate across all age groups, we've all been lonely right? There is a constant atmosphere of unease and uncertainty that gave me the heebie jeebi......more

I thought this story was going a certain way, and then Mr. Tremblay took it in an entirely different direction. It’s vaguely unsettling at first, and then ramps up to super creepy in just a few days in main character Casey’s life. I think that middle schoolers and up should be able to handle the sca......more
