“In 1995, Wisconsin saw one of the hottest summers ever recorded. Midwestern summers were always hot, but this one was different. Over 150 people died from excessive beat that year. Kids, old people.. just dropped dead. It was in the middle of a record beat wave, and we ran out of things to do weeks ago. School would start soon, but there was just enough life left in summer to save. It was almost all I had been able to think about lately. Everything coming to an end.”
When an unidentified body is found decaying near the quiet village of Kansas, Wisconsin, life moves on for most people—but not for precocious teenager Louise Miller. As the adults turn a blind eye to the tragedy, Louise spends the last sweltering weeks of summer digging into the silence and the lies, unraveling secrets about her town, its mysterious past, and something or someone that may have been watching all along.
Readers are saying: “Goosebumps at the end! Goosebumps! Will there be a book two?”
