‘Scream’ Meets ‘Scooby-Doo’ in YA Horror Novel ‘Let’s Split Up’; TV Series in the Works

Scream meets Scooby-Doo in Let’s Split Up, a young adult horror novel by Bill Wood.

The fastest selling UK YA debut of 2024 will be published in the US on September 2 via Scholastic.

Set in 2001, the quiet community of Sanera, California is shocked when the high school’s “it couple” are found brutally murdered in a secluded manor, leaving locals to believe the ghost of a murdered landowner has finally taken his revenge.

A brave group of teen friends dig deeper into the sinister secrets of the mansion. With every clue they uncover, the eerie rumors seem frighteningly real. As they decide whether to stick together or split up to find evidence, they must face the ultimate question: will this decision be their salvation or their doom?

A live-action TV series adaptation of the 352-page book is in the works from Scholastic Entertainment.

Meanwhile, Wood is working a sequel novel titled Be Right Back as part of three-book deal with Scholastic.

“Let’s Split Up has been a true labor of love, and I’m beyond grateful that it’s connecting with readers,” said Wood. “I’m so thrilled to expand the series and dive even deeper into this mysterious world. Bringing these stories to life has been an incredible journey.”
