Critic quotes:

"Ammo-Laden action sequence that will keep readers perched on the ends of their seats." - Heather Booth

" Perfect bedtime reading but better check under the bed and lock the door whilst you're at it." - Sam North

" A fearsome Monster, creepy nightmares, wild snowmobile chases, painful family memories and romance with a beautiful female boxer make this a wild time for a young boy in a sleepy little town. The first-person, present-tense narration is taut, fast-paced and stylish, expertly weaving in deft characterizations and a strong sense of place-bitter cold emptiness." - Kirkus Reviews Memorable Quotes from the Book:

"These roads weren't meant for speed. I'm banging my head off the roof as we're tossed around like loose change in a dryer. The only thing distracting me is Ash's hand on my right knee. She's trying to hang on as we slide around. I've got a shiver running up my thigh that's got nothing to do with the arctic blast outside."

" Like a name on the old grave, the date carved into the cornerstone of the school has been erased by a century of hard winters."

"It's been a couple days since our shared nightmare. Whenever i start doubting it really happened, there's Howie on the Phone wanting to talk about it. This morning he called before breakfast and said he wanted to show me some stuff. He wouldn't tell me what, said I had to come over and see. So i called Ash for a ride, and she's ditching with me."

Explain:

Picture #1: The first picture is a picture of a monster. I know that Danny is the main character of the book, but the monster plays an even bigger role. There would be no story without the monster. The monster was what the childeres main focus was on.

Video #1: This video is just a short quick outlook and over view to get the reader interested in the book. The video just gives a quick summary including hints to what the book might be about. It leaves a "cliff hanger".

Picture #2: The second picture is of a lake and a dock. The lake and dock play a couple different roles in the book. The first role is it's near the house that Danny just moves into. Also, the lake is where Pike drown. When Pike drown, is when everyone found out about the monster and other people started believing.

Video #2: The second video is a more descrptive overview of the book.

Quotes: Quote #1: This quote represents when Ash and Danny first started liking eachother. It also explains how Danny felt about Ash and how Ash may have felt about Danny.

Quote #2: This quote represents a couple of things. It represents how old and run down and historical the small town of Harvest Cove was. It also represents the harsh winters that happen in Harvest Cove.

Quote #3: This quote represents the nightmares that all of the kids have. It also shows that Pike never gives up no matter how hurt and laid up he is. He still wants to figure out what this monster is.
