LovedI think the author does a great job of really capturing the essence of being a kid, that free time when you don't have the same responsibilities that come with adulthood. I love the back and forth between the characters.

Summer of night (1991)
Creators: Loved It's the summer of 1960 in Elm Haven, Illinois, and five 12-year old boys are forming the bonds that a lifetime of changes will never erase. But then a dark cloud threatens the bright promise of summer vacation: on the last day of school, their classmate Tubby Cooke vanishes. Soon, the group discovers stories of other children who once disappeared from Elm Haven. And there are other strange things happening in town: unexplained holes in the ground, a stranger dressed as a World War I soldier, and a rendering-plant truck that seems to be following the five boys. The friends realize that there is a terrible evil lurking in Elm Haven...and they must be the ones to stop it.

LovedThis is that amazingly creepy coming-of-age story. That line when you're just coming into adulthood and your friends are coming on that journey with you and things are never going to be the same.
