Summary: Great Read!
Comment: It starts off with a young boy who witnesses his grandparents being murdered and though the boy runs away, he never forgets... Harney Whalen is the police cheif of the small town of Clarks Harbor. He loves his village, but has a strong hate for strangers... The Shellings have been in Clarks Harbor for 15 years. Then one day Pete, who is a fisherman, goes off on his boat, Sea Spray, and never returns... The Palmers are the new people in Clarks Harbor. They too, like the Shellings, are strangers. But their 9 year old son, Robbie, afflicted since birth with hyperkenisis, has been mysteriously cured since they moved to Clarks Harbor, they stay even though they feel the icy chill emanating from the town. Their daughter has terrifying visions about the beach where they live... Is Robbie cured? Or is something else happening?

This is a pretty damned good book. It has suspense, supernatural twists, and plots all over the place. But the ending leaves peoples imagination working overtime. It gives you the ending, but you keep wondering. In any case, I HIGHLY recommend this book!

Summary: FISHING FOR FEAR
Comment: Clark's Harbor is a small fishing village in Washington State. The Palmer family moves there, believing the rural/fishing tranquility is just the answer for them. Their older child, 9-year-old Rob suffers from some hyperkinetic disorder and has never known a calm moment. Restless and full of angry activity, Rob has never been able to concentrate on any activity. His younger sister Missy, 7 is his opposite number. Bright, verbal and very calm, she provides the stability Rob lacks.

Once at Clark's Harbor, Rob is able to play calmly and interact normally with peers for the first time. Rebecca and Glen Palmer naturally want to promote this, so they move to the fishing community. Once there, the town's shadowy history emerges from the sea and the sand; the forces that have unleashed fearsome powers appear to have had the opposite effect on Rob. The questions are what agents, if any cause these changes? Are these natural phenomena or something supernatural? And what frees Rob from his inner turmoil once in Clark's Harbor? What does the town's history have to do with Rob?

This is a very compelling work that will pull readers into a vortex of swirling emotions and questions.
