Book Description:
Twelve-year-old Evan Mason’s life has been turned upside down by the sudden death of his father. His mother isn’t home much, the insurance office during the day, waiting tables at night. Evan is spending a great deal of time alone.
Now he finds himself on a Greyhound bus headed for a small town on the Wabash River where he’ll spend the summer of 1958 with his loving grandmother.
Evan soon meets his new neighbor, Katie Dobbins. She’s a feisty blue-eyed girl with a ponytail, the type of girl Buddy Holly might sing about on American Bandstand. Evan is instantly enamored with her.
It seems the perfect summer is underway—but strange things are happening in the woods surrounding the Ghost Hill Indian Mound.
There’s a dark cloud lingering over the Wabash Valley—It won’t be long before it erupts into a raging storm.
I rated this book 4 ****'s
A beautiful story of family, friendship and support
This book is such a sweet read. The kids have respect and manners which you normally do not heard from kids these days. It is also a suspense book to read. There are times that I need to hold my breath for few seconds. I like the setting especially the woods. A beautiful story of young sweet love too.
There is a scene that triggers me. I am so glad that is in not very detailed. Always trust your instinct. Overall, this book is a must read.
