From NYT bestsellers Angela and Tony DiTerlizzi comes a humorous, social-emotional story about not judging a book by its cover—even if that cover is super scary!
Up in the attic where no one ever goes, there lives a very scary book. He might look scary, but all he wants is a friend. When, one day, he feels brave enough to venture downstairs, he ends up frightening the other books. Will Scary ever be able to find a friend who sees him for who he truly is?
Angela and Tony DiTerlizzi, the bestselling husband-and-wife team behind A Very Cranky Book, have crafted a tale that is both a friendship story and social-emotional fable. It’s the perfect reminder that sometimes good friends can come in unexpected packages.
Angela and Tony DiTerlizzi have been best friends and creative partners for thirty years and married for over twenty. They live in Amherst, Massachusetts, with their daughter, Sophia, and their rescue dogs, Mimi and Pippin.
Angela is a beloved author of award-winning, charming, and inspiring picture books, including the New York Times and USA Today bestselling The Magical Yet series, Some Bugs, Just Add Glitter, and many others. Her books have been featured in Entertainment Weekly and BuzzFeed, on the Today show, and in Cheerios boxes.
Tony is a #1 New York Times bestselling author and illustrator who has been creating books for over twenty years. From fanciful picture books, such as the Caldecott Honor–winning The Spider and the Fly and The Broken Ornament, to fantastic middle grade novels like Kenny & the Dragon, the WondLa trilogy, and the Spiderwick Chronicles (with Holly Black), Tony imbues each story with his rich imagination.
