Author: James Lincoln Collier

call number: YA/FIC/HOR
|
This book is strong in character, story and setting.
Summary:
In this creepy horror novel, Nick has lost his reflection. He doesn't appear in
mirrors or reflect on water. His reflection has been stolen or taken over by
the ghost of boy who died during the 1918 flu epidemic 12 years earlier in the
town of Stoneybrook. Only Uncle Jack and Gypsy have seen Nick's reflected ghost
self who is committing more and more serious crimes around town and framing him
for it. The townspeople are ready to kill Nick or lock him away as crazy.
I would recommend this book!
Why?
This short page-turner novel is a great substitute for teen readers who
don't want to read the lengthy books by Stephen King or Dean Koontz. I read it
in one sitting and was deeply engaged because I needed to know who the ghostly
reflection was.
Other suggested reading:
Raven's Point by Melinda Metz
