Description
With nowhere left to live after losing his parents and working his way through a long list of relatives on the mainland, Ollie finds himself at his grandpa's house in Sueño Bay, "home of the supernatural." Miserable and intending to get away from the earthquake-prone, rain-soaked island on the next bus out of town, Ollie's getaway plans are altered abruptly when he and three classmates discover something they shouldn't have in a trailer in the woods. The four unlikely friends come together show more in a mystery involving supernatural creatures, a ticking clock and one angry gym teacher to save themselves, the creatures and Sueño Bay from a darkness that is infecting the island. If they succeed, will Ollie finally find a place to call home? show lessTags

Love the art, and it's a really appealing book, especially for the Pacific Northwest experience. It's also a little random -- or like a cartoon episode -- or something. Not a deep delve into character or weighty matters, but very entertaining.
Enjoyed it from beginning to end. I always enjoy when stories subvert the evil teacher/adults trope.
