Whew, the nostalgia. I had been looking for this book for a while but couldn't remember the title. Obviously, I found it, read it in less than 24 hours, and I may just read it again at some point.
The plot is both unique and similar, close to “IT,“ rumors of terror in a town, no one believes, and kids uncover the secret. It's a creepy book, an adolescent would enjoy this way more, but you know, nostalgia bias.

One of the best books I remembered reading when I was in middle school and I‘ve been wanting to get it for my son who loves creepy stories

howlinglibraries One of my favorites as a kid! 6y
NadineCaine @howlinglibraries It was one of mine as well, I‘ve been trying to refind it to add to my collection of young reader books 😊 6y
howlinglibraries @NadineCaine I actually purchased a copy used from thriftbooks a couple of months ago for a few dollars! ☺️ good luck! 6y

Not my #beast but she is waiting patiently in the yard every morning when I open the drapes. She waits for a few bites of turkey or ham. She wears a bell but not a tag so I call her Marilyn. She meows loudly and has a sweet purr. I wish I could bring her inside. #beastsboxgiveaway

MaleficentBookDragon She has the most evil looking eyes. I ❤️ her! 6y
Jinjer @MaleficentBookDragon She‘s a tough, outside girl (we think) so don‘t mess with her, but a very, very sweet girl (we think) once she approves of you. 💕 6y
Jinjer @DebinHawaii she totally is💕 6y
MaleficentBookDragon @Jinjer she is gorgeous. I would try and get her inside too.; but my three would probably not be too happy about it💕 the 🛎 (edited) 6y
Jinjer @Tamra 💕 6y
Jinjer @MaleficentBookDragon Yes, the bell! Very handy. If I go outside to get the mail or whatever I can hear her if she‘s coming even from a distance and will wait for her so she can get a treat.😂 6y
