I initially judged this book by its cover and thought it wouldn't be interesting, but I was completely wrong. It's like a mix of 'Stranger Things' and 'IT' but tailored for a young adult audience. I'm recommending it to my reluctant readers, especially in the 2 high schools I work at. The story maintains a constant sense of suspense, even during the slower, less action-packed parts. I love a good thriller/horror book, and this one has made it to the top of my list.
