Don’t Cheer for the Mascot

Bent Street Oddities, Book Two

At Bent Street Middle, every chant feeds a cracked mascot costume that moves without anyone inside and erases students from memory.

Read the full description

The school wants everyone to cheer. The costume wants someone else.

At Bent Street Middle, cheering is supposed to make the team stronger. But when the cracked old Buck mascot costume begins moving without anyone inside, Ivy Vale and Milo Vance discover that every chant is feeding it.

Students are vanishing from memories and school records. Empty seats are being saved for children no one remembers. Tickets mark witnesses. Names disappear. And the Buck is searching for someone willing to wear its head before the final bell.

To stop the final fitting, Ivy and Milo must follow impossible rules through haunted bleachers, forgotten classrooms, family memories, and a Founders Night parade that refuses to end.

Because the louder the crowd cheers, the more real the mascot becomes.

A creepy, fast-paced supernatural mystery for middle-grade and young-teen readers.
