Why read it?

1 author picked Dead Flip as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

A young adult / middle-grade crossover, Dead Flip is told from multiple perspectives and time periods.

It’s a horror mystery about two seventeen-year-olds in the early nineties whose third crew member disappeared in 1987 when they were twelve. And he might be stuck in a haunted…pinball machine? Yup.

I’ve loved Farizan’s work in the past (Here to Stay is one of the funniest books I’ve ever read), and Dead Flip is equally as good but way more spooky.
