If you’re in the mood for something creepy--come with me. We’ll visit the quiet town of Cowslip Grove, where something strange is going on… Strange prowlers have been noticed after dark… Farm animals have been attacked… And children are disappearing, after being visited by terrible nightmares. The worst thing? No one remembers them once they’re gone. Not their teachers, not their classmates--not even their parents. Except, for some reason, newcomer Levi and his sort-of-friend Sam. They notice the absence of the children. And when Levi’s sister goes missing, they decide it’s up to them to find out what’s going on. What’s going on, though, is decidedly NOT NICE, and Levi and Sam will have to use all their brains and bravery to keep themselves and the rest of Cowslip Grove from disappearing, too. It’s been said that this book will be read late at night under the covers with a flashlight. Which may be true, but--late at night? When it’s dark? Will you really want to shine a light that could…attract visitors???? Read No Place For Monsters….and YOU decide. (New Hampshire Great Stone Face Book Award nominee, 2022) |
