Deadly Game — Beth Chambers

The sinister Prankster preys on 12-year-olds in Scott's town. He challenges them to games, with their heart's desire if they win. None of them ever win. None of them ever come back.



Scott accepts the Prankster's challenge in the hope of saving his sister's life. But as the game goes on he realises he's made a terrible mistake. Because losing is bad... but winning could be worse.
