The Secret of Bow Creek Hollow

Parker hasn't stopped listening for his best friend in a year.Sam disappeared the day their school bus went off the road at Bow Creek - thrown into the water, the official report said, swept away and never found. Everyone else on that bus got to heal. Parker got an empty casket and a hole where his best friend used to be.On the anniversary of the crash, Parker and his friend Maya sneak past the ROAD CLOSED barriers to walk the old abandoned highway - the road Sam always dreamed of hiking end to end - and plant a tree in his memory. But somewhere past the fog-choked switchbacks, Parker sees a familiar shape standing on the cracked pavement below. Thin shoulders. That unmistakable stillness. It's impossible. Sam is gone.Except the marks keep showing up. A symbol carved fresh into a fence post. A backpack that wasn't there an hour ago. A leather strap tied to a guardrail, tapping out a rhythm that isn't the wind.Someone - or something - wants Parker to follow the old road all the way into Bow Creek Hollow: a forgotten town of watchful eyes, whispered rules, and a presence the locals speak of only as "the Voice." What Parker finds there will force him to choose between the world he knows and the one thing he's spent a year praying for - his best friend, alive, and no longer entirely human.A story about grief, loyalty, and the price of bringing someone back, THE SECRET OF BOW CREEK HOLLOW is a spine-tingling adventure for readers who like their friendship stories with a little folklore, a little fog, and a lot of heart.
