On one side are the adults, who are desperate to make Kettle Springs great again, and on the other are the kids, who want to have fun, make prank videos, and get out of Kettle Springs as quick as they can.
But what they don’t know is that ever since the Baypen Corn Syrup Factory shut down, Kettle Springs has cracked in half. Quinn Maybrook and her father have moved to tiny, boring Kettle Springs, to find a fresh start.
In Adam Cesare’s terrifying young adult debut, Quinn Maybrook finds herself caught in a battle between old and new, tradition and progress-that just may cost her life. Bram Stoker Award Winner for Superior Achievement in a Young Adult Novel
