Inspired by a chilling true story, acclaimed author Guadalupe Garcia McCall weaves a suspenseful tale about a young boy's desperate struggle to adapt and survive in a new town shrouded in a secret past.

James had always anticipated that his move from Texas to Oregon would be a harrowing experience. However, as soon as he and his family settled into their picturesque new home in their seemingly idyllic new town, strange letters began to arrive, addressed to him by someone known as the Keeper. These letters claimed to be watching him, and they were searching for "young blood."

James and his sister, Ava, quickly realized that they were in grave danger. However, the difficulty with James's past history of playing pranks was that no one, not even his parents, believed him. They dismissed his concerns as mere imagination, and he felt isolated and helpless.

Determined to uncover the truth before becoming the next victims in their neighborhood's long history of missing children, James and Ava embarked on a mission to find the sender of the letters. They scoured their surroundings, searching for any clues that could lead them to the culprit.

As they dug deeper, they discovered that the Keeper was a mysterious figure who had been lurking in the shadows for years. He was a collector of children, and he had a particular fascination with those with unique abilities or traits. James and Ava realized that they possessed something that the Keeper sought, and they were in grave danger.

With time running out, James and Ava must confront the Keeper and his dark secrets. They must use all of their wits and abilities to outsmart him and protect themselves and their loved ones. The truth about the Keeper is the only thing that can keep them alive, and they are willing to do anything to uncover it.

In the end, James and Ava emerge victorious, having faced their fears and conquered the Keeper. They learn that sometimes the darkest secrets can be hidden in the most ordinary places, and that the only way to survive is to face your fears and embrace the truth.

This gripping tale of suspense and survival will keep readers on the edge of their seats until the very last page.
