What to expect
Tuck Everlasting meets The Village in this delightfully eerie middle grade novel about a boy trapped in a strange town where secrets turn deadly and the unnatural lurks in the night.
Twelve-year-old Arlo is afraid of fire, creepy TV shows, and even his own shadow—but most of all, he’s afraid of losing his mother to the disease that nearly claimed her life a year ago.
During a Thanksgiving road trip, a sudden collision with a strange beast in the middle of the road totals the family’s car, and Arlo, his mom, and his sister end up stranded in a small town called Livermore.
But there’s something off about this place. No one has a phone or a car, and the townspeople aren’t exactly friendly. Without phone service to make a call for help, Arlo and his family stay at the Samuels’ mansion, but inexplicable sightings at night set Arlo on edge. When he stumbles upon a dark secret that the town’s inhabitants will kill to keep, getting out of Livermore becomes a matter of life or death.
Critics Review
-
“Cohen dishes up another expertly twisted chiller. Shivery reading for under the covers…or, for that matter, in broad daylight.”
Kirkus Reviews -
“[An] excellent, spooky story about a[n] anxious boy who tries to keep his family safe. Cohen’s writing is sometimes disarmingly beautiful…It’s a fantastic show of craft.”
Booklist -
Cohen…brings shivers with the isolated, insular small town and its creepy residents.”
