About the book

EVERYTHING'S COMING UP...EVIL!

The E. Ville Creeper Botanical Gardens has been closed down for ages. It looks abandoned...even haunted. But your teacher thinks it's a great place for a field trip!

You'll have to collect data from four different deadly gardens — and manage to stay alive. There are polka-dotted roses that have the power to eat people! And cactus needles filled with a powerful plant virus. Touch one of these and you'll grow a green thumb... not to mention roots leaves and bark! The choice is yours in this scary GOOSEBUMPS adventure that's packed with over 20 super-spooky endings!
