When Alex spots a strange light in the sky, he quickly determines that it is a meteorite blazing its way down into the depths of Howlmoor Forest. Deciding that finding (and subsequently selling) the meteorite could be the answer to all his problems, he quickly skates towards the likely crash site. However, once there, he finds a bunch of shattered rocks, some mysterious liquid, a deeply alarming noise, and a disparate group of kids who might just be the friends he didn’t know he was looking for.
These initial chapters set the scene of the peculiar Shiver Point and Alex’s troubles as a new arrival in town who also has to cope with a difficult homelife. The town is intriguing and Alex’s difficulties and hopes are relatable. The existence of a mystery is established from the outset, and it’ll be interesting to learn the truth about the meteorite, the noises in the night, and the people/creatures who might know what’s going on. It should make for a great read for fans of Scooby Doo and other mystery series.
