Seventeen-year-old Steve Clark and his family have just moved to Cradle Bay Island and are settling into their new life.

WOW!! I am very impressed in how great this book was. I have never read a book that was a movie FIRST, and I must say, my expectations were NOT high. I was proven wrong! this book follows the life of a young man, and his two friends living in a small town called Cradle Bay. Though the town may seen "nice", the main character quickly learns otherwise. Beneath the town's placid surface, an evil secret lies. The book does loose points for originality(it WAS a movie first), and believability(the plot can be hard to believe at times). Overall however, this book shines as an expert suspense novel.
