Mori Quinn and the Coffin Game by S. Alessandro Martinez

A spooky middle grade fantasy about friendship, courage, and facing your fears.

Moribeth Quinn doesn’t fit in.

So when her parents drop her off at summer camp, Mori expects the worst—lonely days, awkward conversations, and no friends in sight.

She’s wrong.

Mori quickly bonds with two girls, Emma and Henrietta. But their new friendship comes with a challenge: a creepy dare from the camp bully—sneak into a nearby cemetery at night and lie in old coffins to prove who’s the bravest.

It’s supposed to be a joke. It isn’t.

When Mori climbs into one of the coffins, she’s transported to a strange and dangerous world filled with eerie ghosts, magical warriors, and terrifying monsters. Trapped in this dark fantasy realm, she must find her friends, survive the horrors that stalk the land, and face the terrifying Viscera Queen who rules it.

But escape won’t be easy.

To make it home, Mori must confront her fears, stand up to the bully who started it all, and discover the courage she never knew she had.
