AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE
Along with a brand new baby brother, Marin, 10yo, and her parents have moved to a new town. Checking out the neighborhood, she spies a group of teens, who then vanish before her eyes. Charley, who also lives nearby, also can see the teens. Reluctantly, he joins Marin to ferret out the mystery of the disappearing teens. They think it may be related to a tragedy that rocked the small town long before the kids were born.
The double mystery will hold some kid’s attentions, but I am very curious what they will think of the ending. I can see why she has her main characters so young, but its too bad they couldn’t have been more tween instead.
