Description
Description
Romance, friendship, and bone-chilling fear fill the pages of this "haunting modern-day folktale" (April Genevieve Tucholke, author of Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea) about a teen whose repressed memories begin to surface when a body is discovered in her small town--now with updated text and a brand-new look! Twelve years ago, Stella and Jeanie vanished while picking strawberries. Stella returned minutes later with no memory of what happened. Jeanie was never seen or heard from again. Now Stella is seventeen and ready for everyone to move on already. Yes, she's the lucky survivor of her town's ugly legacy, but she's looking forward, not back. This coming summer, Stella has a great best friend, a hookup with an irresistibly crooked smile, and two months of beach days stretching out before her. Then the body of a little girl washes up in an ancient cemetery after a mudslide, and she has red hair just like Jeanie did. Suddenly memories of that haunting day begin to return, and when Stella discovers that other red-headed girls have gone missing as well, she begins to suspect something sinister is at work. Before the summer ends, Stella may learn the hard way that when you hunt for monsters, you might find them.
Critical Reviews
Critical Reviews
"Leave[s] chills long after the last page."-- "Publishers Weekly"
"Genuine and truly eerie. Readers will be up all night finishing Sirowy's debut."-- "Romantic Times"
"Sirowy successfully weaves in an unnerving supernatural backstory, but the book's very human conclusion is far more frightening than any of the town's superstitions. A solid choice for horror fans, this novel will is a spook-tastic spine-tingler."-- "School Library Journal"
"Delivers with a nicely suspenseful plot that builds to a crisis point. Intriguing all the way through."-- "Kirkus Reviews"
"[For] horror fans looking for a creepy thrill."-- "BCCB"
"A small town legend, a missing redhead, a monster in the forest...Sirowy'sThe Creeping is a haunting, modern day folktale, in the darkest sense of the word. Fantastic."--April Genevieve Tucholke, author of Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea
