A kind of strange book about Josh, a high school boy hitch-hiking across the country.  He is robbed, left for dead, and then picked up by a strange woman and brought back to an even stranger town.  Desperate to continue his journey and free to leave, Josh discovers that for some reason, he is unable to escape from the town.  It’s an imaginative plot, but the book as a whole didn’t do much for me.

Doug and his brother Gordon just don’t get along. But when an emergency arises on a family camping trip, Doug is forced to face his biggest fear to save Gordon’s life.

A good suspenseful juvenile fiction book that stresses the importance of family and facing your fears.
