I Scream, You Scream by Tim Waggoner

Eighth-grader Joel Taylor just moved to Shadow Springs with his mom. He likes his new home well enough – until a sinister being called Mr. Freezee begins driving his creepy ice-cream truck up and down the streets at night, playing “Pop Goes the Weasel.”

Joel heard the music.

He looked out the window.

He saw Mr. Freezee, and what’s worse…

Mr. Freezee saw him.

Now Mr. Freezee wants to take Joel to a very special place where the world is made of every flavor of ice cream you can imagine – all of them deadly. Mr. Freezee brings all his new friends here, and they love it so much that they never leave.

Mr. Freezee makes sure of it.

Welcome to Sweet Land, Joel.

Welcome to a nightmare that never ends.

Excerpt From I Scream, You Scream by Tim Waggoner

The storm grows more intense, and a torrent of sprinkles rain down, hitting our heads, backs, arms, and hands. Each one lands with the velocity and force of a thrown baseball, and hurts just as much. If this bombardment continues much longer, I fear we’ll lose our grip on the giant spoon and sink beneath the waves, never to be seen again. To make matters worse, strong winds begin to blow, disturbing the surface of the chocolate sea and kicking up more waves. The spoon rises and falls with them, and soon it's like we’re riding on a rollercoaster, flying up hills and sliding rapidly down the other side. I soon feel dizzy and nauseated, and sprinkles continue pelting us, one after the other. They’re starting to stick to us now, forming multicolored shells on our bodies.

“I don’t think I can hold on much longer!” Vanessa shouts.

“Me either!” I admit.

“That makes three of us!” Ramon says.
The sky – already dark – is blotted out by a gigantic shadow, and despite the multicolored rain of sprinkles, I look up to see an unbelievably massive hand descending toward us. It’s a human hand, except instead of nails, the fingers sprout long icicle claws.
