Sixth-grader Stetson Oliver has a great life: a loving family, good

Stetson thinks he sees movement in the shadows; in the blink of an eye, objects
around his room have mysteriously been moved. When he turns his head, Stetson
is met by a dark, hooded figure towering above him…
The Boogerman has haunted and tormented numerous children (Stetson
included) for many sleepless nights, only to find that he’s getting a bad
rap—but he’s just misunderstood, he swears! With Stetson’s help, he wants to
reshape his image and right his reputation. As Stetson and the Boogerman embark
on a dangerous adventure, the stakes are raised...and Stetson soon learns that
making a deal with the Boogerman is like making a deal with the devil—nothing
is an even trade.

Excerpt:
“Please!” Stetson whispered
urgently. “Get us out of here! This isn’t funny anymore!”
The Boogerman didn’t
answer. It was beginning to look like every suspicion Stetson had about him was
about to play out. Maybe he really was going to maroon Stetson in the Null
Dimension. And to heap even more rotten onions on a moldy hot dog, he was
marooned with his archenemy, Dana Coggins. Forever!
“Hey!” Stetson snapped, struggling to maintain control. “If you’re trying
to make another point, you made it!”
Nothing.
Dana Coggins’ blubbering
was getting fainter—he must be running in the opposite direction—while the
ground-shaking approach of the monster was getting closer.
“All right!” Stetson said
desperately. “I’ll help you write your autobiography. You need me to tell the
world your side of the story!” He whirled around in a panic, frantically
searching for any sign of the Boogerman’s acknowledging anything he’d just
said.
Even though the beast was
still quite a distance away, he could feel its hot, moist breath as it drew
nearer. His clothes fluttered with each huge, putrid exhale. The worst
bellowing cry yet came crashing down on him.
He screamed.
