"Move over, Stranger Things . . . The Darkdeep will pull you into an irresistibly eerie world beyond your wildest dreams--and nightmares." --Melissa de la Cruz, #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Descendants series "The stakes are huge, the action high-throttle, but what readers will remember most is its big, emotional heart. . . A truly spectacular adventure." --Soman Chainani, New York Times bestselling author of the School for Good and Evil series New York Times bestselling authors Ally Condie and Brendan Reichs team up to co-author this thrilling first book in a darkly suspenseful middle grade series. When a bullying incident sends twelve year-old Nico Holland over the edge of a cliff into the icy waters of Still Cove, where no one ever goes, friends Tyler and Ella--and even cool kid Opal--rush to his rescue . . . only to discover an island hidden in the swirling mists below. Shrouded by dense trees and murky tides, the island appears uninhabited, although the kids can't quite shake the feeling that something about it is off. Their suspicions grow when they stumble upon an abandoned houseboat with an array of curiosities inside: odd-looking weapons, unnerving portraits, maps to places they've never heard of, and a glass jar containing something completely unidentifiable. As the group delves deeper into the unknown, their discoveries--and their lives--begin to intertwine in weird and creepy ways. Something ancient has awakened . . . and it knows their wishes and dreams--and their darkest, most terrible secrets. Do they have what it takes to face the shadowy things that lurk within their own hearts? Told from Nico's and Opal's alternating points of view, this tale from bestselling duo Ally Condie and Brendan Reichs kicks off a suspenseful and spooky new series, perfect for fans of Stranger Things.

Now obviously I'm not the target audience for this book, but I really enjoyed reading it. There's the usual type of middle grade conflict set up between the group & bully boy Logan, which is mainly resolved by the end, but the actual weirdness or figments was a great idea for the story. It's very entertaining with the right mix of horror & humour with a Stranger Things/Goonies vibe. 4🌟

Interesting idea but only mildly impressive. A group of kids discover an old boathouse and inside are strange nicknacks and a well with mysterious liquid in it, so of course they touch it. Strange events happen and now they have to solve it. Very little was explained about how the liquid worked and the final event was lack luster, it was one of those vague winning battles, you don‘t really know, it just happens. Tyler was hilarious though.

I finished this book with a hot mug of cocoa on this dreary afternoon. The story had an interesting premise, but it just didn‘t wow me.

I thought this one would be amazing but I ended up DNFing around the 45% mark. I couldn‘t keep the characters straight (they had no personality) and the story was just dragging. I let my godson read it and he bailed 30% in. No thanks.

Move over Stranger Things and come back to this sleepy town Stephen King's It, this upcoming collaboration between Ally Condie and Brendan Reichs is sure to spook middle readers. Four friends discover a secret island that promises dreams but instead creates nightmares.
