For fans of the infamous cryptid
Mothman, you will find a home in the woods outside the town of Pender. You
might also find a friend in The Mumbler. The Missing Season by Gillian
French follows the new girl at Pender District High and all the usual trials
and tribulations of trying to fit in. But what Clara doesn’t realize is there
is much more to worry about than the mysterious allure that is the bad boy
Kincade and trying to understand the lifestyle of her new friends Bree and Sage.
There’s a tyrannical monster in the
woods behind her house who preys on the lives of innocent children every year
at Halloween. For fans of books like Here There Are Monsters by Amelinda
Berubé and Little Monsters by Kara Thomas this YA thriller will have you
fearing the noises from inside the closet. You’ll be wondering how the
separation between reality and nightmares can be so thin.
This was another weekend reader for
me. I read it during quarantine and let’s just say I was thankful to have an
excuse to stay in the house while reading this one! The truth is always hiding,
but sometimes it’s hiding closer to home than you’d like to think!
