Whispering Pines

Whispering Pines Series, Book 1

By: Heidi Lang, Kati Bartkowski

Narrated by: James Fouhey

Stranger Things meets The X-Files in this eerie, heart-pounding middle-grade adventure about a young boy and girl who must protect their small town from otherworldly forces threatening to destroy it.

Rae's father vanished without a trace - and Rae knows what happened to him. But no one believes her when she says that her father didn't run off, that he was actually taken. Now, a year of therapy later, Rae's mother decides they need a fresh start, and so they move to a new town in the hope that life can return to normal.

The problem is, there is nothing normal about the town of Whispering Pines.

No one knows this better than Caden. He's lived in Whispering Pines his entire life, and he's seen more than his fair share of weird - starting with his own family, as the town is the perfect home base for his mother's ghost-hunting business.

When several kids go missing and then show up like zombies with their eyes removed, many locals brush it off. Just another day in Whispering Pines. But Caden has a dark secret, one that may explain why someone is stealing eyes. And Rae, who knows how it feels to not be believed, may be just the person Caden needs to help him put things right.

Scary and Hard to Put Down!

Perfect for fans of Stranger Things. A dark and scary blend of horror and science fiction. This one is impossible to stop reading. I'm so glad it's a series, because I want more.

Great book!😸🐼

I loved this story! Didn't think I would because I usely don't like Sci-fi, but it's great! 😸🐼 Not good for 10 and under though because of the horror part. I highly recommend!😸🐼 (Spoiler alert!) I just wish Rae and Caden got together at the end!😿 I also wish the series had more than just four books.
