Beacon Point is one creepy small town. Residents are generally inside before dark and there are unexplained disappearances and sightings of strange creatures. The townsfolk all avoid the nearby woods. It's a wonder anyone lives there, but the adults seem oblivious. A group of kids decide to take on the monsters and find out what's going on before they too become victims.
Appropriately creepy, the monsters don't disappoint. There are a lot of first hand experiences with the monsters and the teens don't seem quite as traumatized as one would think. Definitely scarier than Goosebumps. You may not want to listen to monster sightings over your airwaves again. The kids come from a variety of backgrounds and culture and race are not stated.
