The Snake Lady Swallows You Whole

The Snake Lady stands at the foot of Charlie’s bed, smiles, and unhinges her jaw . . . Empathetic 4th grader Charlie asks his new friend why she’s sad. She tells him about the Snake Lady, passing the curse on to him. Now, the Snake Lady slithers from the shadows of Charlie’s bedroom, paralyzing him, ingesting him a little more each night. With his big brother’s help, Charlie struggles to destroy the monster before she engulfs him. But how do you slay a monster who lives in your imagination?
