Lizardville

The Ghost Story

De: Steve Altier

Narrado por: Bryan Anderson, Sonya Anderson

The world outside sounds menacing as loud, thunderous cracks rained down on the home. In the middle of this fierce raging storm with no electricity, siblings Zack and Daniel turn to their father, John Malone. Feeling the boys are now old enough to learn the truth about his childhood, John decides to share a family secret he’s kept locked away, a secret that changed John’s life forever.

In a small Pennsylvania town called Lizardville, a young boy named Johnny and his friends set out on a weekend camping trip along the banks of Big Fishing Creek. On the first night, as the boys gather around the campfire, Parker shares a story that happened nearly 80 years ago, the legend of the Ax Factory murders. Soon after, strange, mysterious things begin to happen. Little do the boys realize they have awakened the spirit world!

Jimmy, unable to sleep, comes face-to-face with a ghost named Annabelle. She is searching for something and knows the boys are hiding what she seeks. Could the secret lie in an old puzzle box?

As this spine-tingling edge-of-your-seat adventure unfolds, one question remains: Will they survive the weekend?

Kept my attention

This was a very well written story with just enough adventure and intrigue to keep my attention. The characters were believable and genuine. I liked how the story was actually a memory of father shared with his kids. It was nostalgic in that sense. The author did a great job creating vivid imagery through word choice and the narrator was the perfect fit for this book. Kind of reminded me of “stand by me.”

Fast pace

This is a very young adultish type novel. I guess as long as you know that coming in you should be good. It’s a good story otherwise but somewhat simple
