Thrilling, intense, with pulse-pounding chills . . . Everything you could want in a series. --Soman Chainani, New York Times bestselling author of The School for Good and Evil New York Times bestselling authors Ally Condie and Brendan Reichs co-author another edge-of-your-seat ad...venture in this darkly suspenseful middle grade series. After Nico, Opal, Tyler, Emma, and Logan survived their worst nightmares come-to-life, they hoped things would go back to normal in Timbers, their sleepy northwestern town. They have school, their secret houseboat hang-out, and important responsibilities to uphold. Because unbeknownst to anyone else, they're the Torch Bearers--keepers of the Darkdeep, an ancient whirlpool that makes dreams and nightmares come true. But when an even more dangerous threat surfaces, the friends realize they have no idea how to stop it or control the Darkdeep. With no other options, they must uncover the whirlpool's origins as well as those of that freaky Thing in a Jar. But getting answers won't be easy, thanks to a YouTube mythbusters series that has invaded Timbers intent on finding its own creature feature star. As the series goes viral and closes in on the Darkdeep, loyalties are put to the test as the friends struggle to guard their secrets, defeat their enemies, and save themselves and all they love. Told from alternating points-of-view, this chilling series sequel from bestselling duo Ally Condie and Brendan Reichs is perfect for fans of Stranger Things.
