Resthaven
by Erik Therme
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
GENRE:
YA suspense
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BLURB:
The last thing Kaylee wants to do is participate in a
childish scavenger hunt—especially inside the abandoned retirement home on the
edge of town. When she finds a bruised, deaf boy hiding inside one of the
rooms, she vows to lead him to safety . . . only to discover the front doors
are now padlocked, and her friends are nowhere to be found. Kaylee is about to
learn that not everything that goes ‘bump in the night’ is imaginary, and
sometimes there are worse things to fear than ghosts.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
EXCERPT ONE:
Listen.
That’s
my father’s favorite word. I’m pretty sure that’s why he left my mother and me:
we never listened. What does he expect? My mother hides behind a computer sixty
hours a week, and I’m only fifteen. It’s not in our nature to listen. Case in
point: I think my mother just asked a question I didn’t catch—which is
bad—because she hates repeating herself almost as much as I do. My best defense
is to keep staring out the car window, pretending I didn’t hear.
“Well?”
she asked.
“Yeah,”
I said, “I get it. You hate me.”
“Kaylee,
I don’t hate you. And we both know you brought this on yourself.”
“Me?
How is this my fault? I haven’t done anything—”
“Exactly.
It’s been three weeks since we moved here, and in that time you’ve made zero
effort to make friends or leave the apartment. If it wasn’t for Anna, you
wouldn’t do anything but come home from school and sulk in your room.”
I
slunk down further in the passenger seat. “Yeah, and if it wasn’t for Anna I
wouldn’t even be here right now.”
“Well,
I think it was very generous of these girls to invite you over tonight, so at
least try and make an effort. It’s only for a few hours.”
I
scowled out my window, knowing it was pointless to argue. Once my mother made
up her mind it took an act of God, or an argument with my father, to change it.
