Cohen has written a creepy, atmospheric novel about
11-year-old Quinn. Quinn has been going through a rough patch. She was caught
cheating in school and her little sister Emma vanished when walking home after
school and was never found. Quinn is devastated to discover that her best
friend Kara and her family are moving away.
Kara’s family invites Quinn on a family trip to soften the blow, only to
disappear without a trace, stranding the two girls in a strange hotel populated
by even stranger people.
The publisher describes this volume as “The Shining meets Hotel California" in this supremely creepy middle-grade novel.” Certainly the engaging characters and vivid, emotionally laden prose are gripping. The fast-paced story will have readers turning pages as fast as they can to find out what happens next!
