Book description
Eli has lived in Crooked River his whole life. In fact, his family have
lived there since Eli’s grandfather, Clarence, built the town’s first
building and put the place on the map. It’s a town full of secrets and
mysteries: like the time when Clarence walked to the river one day and
never returned, or the time back in Eli’s childhood when his best
friend, George, disappeared never to be seen or heard from again.
Eli has spent years wondering about Clarence and George, so when
another young boy goes missing, he’s determined that this time it won’t
remain a mystery.
