4 posts | 3 read | 7 to read
Stranger Things meets The X-Files in this eerie, heart-pounding middle grade adventure about a young boy and girl who must protect their small town from otherworldly forces threatening to destroy it. Raes father vanished without a traceand Rae knows what happened to him. But no one believes her when she says that her father didnt run off, that he was actually taken. Now, a year of therapy later, Raes mother decides they need a fresh start, and so they move to a new town in the hope that life can return to normal. The problem is, there is nothing normal about the town of Whispering Pines. No one knows this better than Caden. Hes lived in Whispering Pines his entire life, and hes seen more than his fair share of weirdstarting with his own family, as the town is the perfect home base for his mothers ghost hunting business. When several kids go missing and then show up like zombies with their eyes removed, many locals brush it off. Just another day in Whispering Pines. But Caden has a dark secret, one that may explain why someone is stealing eyes. And Rae, who knows how it feels to not be believed, may be just the person Caden needs to help him put things right.

I‘m having the best luck with my #MiddleGradeMarch choices this year! This was a super fun horror/sci if that gave off slight Stranger Things vibes while still being appropriate for middle school. I‘ll definitely continue the series! @megnews @sblbooks

We are short on subs today so I‘m covering 8th grade science for a few periods. They‘ve got an independent assignment which means I get to start reading a new book! The first couple chapters are nice and creepy #MiddleGradeMarch

Finished this one yesterday. A pretty good MG horror novel. This one was a lot more supernatural and was definitely the first in a series. A monster is stealing kids eyeballs. It‘s pretty creepy because they walk around with no eyes. And there is a secret science facility “helping” the town.

An awesomely scary middle grade, horror novel. It brought me back to my youth when I read a lot of Goosebumps. The story is well developed & the characters are great. After her dad disappears, Rae moves to Whispering Pines with her mom & sister. The town is super weird & super creepy, & that's before kids start disappearing then showing back up without their eyes. This is a great fall read, my only regret is not reading it closer to Halloween. 👁️
