's review

really liked it
bookshelves: books-bejeweled

REASONS TO LOVE:

the title
the author's bio
the author's acknowledgments at end of book
that perfect cover
suspenseful, addictive, spooky story
a combination of STRANGER THINGS (Netflix series) and STAND BY ME (80's movie)

The only reason I couldn't give all the stars to this very fun book is due to too many co-winky dinks towards the big reveal at the end. A bit too implausible.

I love the 80's vibe of little boys riding around on their bikes getting into all kinds of mischief and seeing things they shouldn't...

HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

thanks to NetGalley, I was able to read and review this book! It will be published in January 2018.

``Laurie Ooh! This sounds good.


Elle G. Reads Enjoy! This one sounds sooooo good!!!


Carol She's So Novel꧁꧂ I had to say cowinky dinks out loud a couple of times before I got that. It's early over here! :D

Susan Sounds so good! Your comment about an 80's vibe and a bunch of boys on bikes getting in to trouble is perfect! That's exactly what appealed to me, too! Sounds like Steven Spielberg's "Super 8"!

haha Carol! I say it out loud sometimes, but I've never spelled it out phonetically!

YESSSS Susan! It is very SUPER 8! Even a little IT with the gang of lil guys and one girl...
