The Lost Boy By Greg Ruth
Some mysteries are too dangerous to leave alone.
Nate's not happy
about his family moving to a new house in a new town. After all,
nobody asked him if he wanted to move in the first place. But when he
discovers a tape recorder and note addressed to him under the
floorboards of his bedroom, he's thrust into a dark mystery about a boy
who went missing many, many years ago. Now, as strange happenings and
weird creatures begin to track Nate, he must partner with Tabitha, a
local girl, to find out what they want with him. But time is running
out, for a powerful force is gathering strength in the woods at the edge
of town, and before long Nate and Tabitha will be forced to confront a
terrifying foe and uncover the truth about the Lost Boy.
