#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • “Suspense, humor and plenty of heart . . . spooky and satisfying.”—People

Michelina Bellsong is on a mission. She is following a missing family to the edge of America . . . to a place she never knew existed—a place of terror, wonder, and shattering revelation. What awaits her there will change her life and the life of everyone she knows—if she can find the key to survival. At stake are a young girl of extraordinary goodness, a young boy with killers on his trail, and Micky’s own wounded soul. Ahead lie incredible peril, startling discoveries, and paths that lead through terrible darkness to unexpected light.

Loved

Loved this book was lol funny at parts suspenseful and interesting way to go ! Another great one not sure why others are rating so low. Definitely worth a credit and more!

Fall in love with these characters

I really loved this book! I laughed out loud. I got upset. I wanted to know what would happen next. I smiled, and I cried. A lovely book.

The characters

Too much gore in detail - it diminishes the dread because it just feels too much

The message

The beginning was slow but the more I read the better it got. Would recommend

A fun and often funny ride.

I’m not sure how I missed this book but this was my first time listening to it and I loved it.

The performer was pitch perfect across a very wide range of characters including a dog, briefly, a boy and a girl, an adult with Downs Syndrome and other adults of both sexes and different ages.

In short, she’s brilliant!

The story itself is a variation on the theme DK adopted in his later works. Love suffers but triumphs over evil and DK is subtly warning us of the dangerous social changes that are slowly eroding the world we love. Sad but true and truer every day.

Definitely credit worthy and then some.

Enjoy your day!
