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.
Rae's father vanished without a trace--and Rae knows what happened to
him. But no one believes her when she says that her father didn't run
off, that he was actually taken. Now, a year of therapy later, Rae's
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. He's lived in Whispering Pines his
entire life, and he's seen more than his fair share of weird--starting
with his own family, as the town is the perfect home base for his
mother's 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.
