In New York's Long Island, in the unpredictable decade of the 1960's, a young boy laments the approaching close of summer and the advent of sixth grade. Growing up in a household with an overworked father whom he rarely sees, an alcoholic mother who paints wonderful canvases that are never displayed, an older brother who serves as both tormentor and protector, and a younger sister who inhabits her own secret world, the boy takes his amusements where he can find them.
The time passes until the night a prowler is reported stalking the neighborhood. In the neighborhood there are disappearances, deaths and spectral sightings capped off by the arrival of a sinister man in a long white car trawling the neighborhood after dark.
This was a good book. Pretty creepy, you can almost feel like you are there in that era, feeling what this boy and his siblings are going through.
