They say don't judge a book by its cover, but we all know we do it. Sometimes it's the cover that originally catches our eye, drawing us to give a book a closer look. It's the first thing we see, our first impression. Every Sunday I'm going to post some of my favorite covers of books coming soon!
Inspired by the terrifying true story of the "Westfield Watcher,” this bone-chilling middle-grade novel by Mexican American author Guadalupe García McCall will keep readers guessing until the pulse-pounding ending.
The first letter turns up on his desk. The second is stuck between the spokes of his bike.
The third flies through the kitchen window.
And they are all addressed to James from someone called the Keeper.
Moving from Texas to Oregon was a bad idea. No sooner have James and his family arrived in their “perfect” new town than he starts getting mysterious and sinister letters from someone called the Keeper. Someone who claims to be watching him. Someone who is looking for “young blood.” James and his sister, Ava, are obviously in danger. But the problem with making a fuss about moving and having a history of playing practical jokes is that no one believes James—not even his parents.
Now James and Ava need to figure out who is sending the letters before they become the next victims in their neighborhood’s long history of missing children. Because one thing is clear: uncovering the truth about the Keeper is the only thing that will keep them alive.
Full of chilling twists that will keep readers guessing until the end, this middle-grade novel is perfect for fans of The Jumbies, The Night Gardener, and other tales of things that go bump in the night.
