Last weekend I finally was able to start one of the new books from our lit. circle tubs. I've read Bruchac's Code Talker, but I have not read any of his mystery books. Whisper in the Dark has definitely got my attention, and as soon as I'm finished here, I'm going to read more.
The main character, Maddy, fears that she is being stalked by a creature from the legends of her Native American ancestors. According to the legend, though, the creature gives 4 warnings before it makes its final move. The fourth time "The Whisperer" says the victim's name, and then the end for that person is near. So far, Maddy has received at least 2 warnings, if my memory serves me. Now she and her friend Roger, both fans of horror books and films, are trying to figure out what exactly is going on and how to protect themselves. Several of the chapters have a little twist or leave a lingering question so that the reader wants to continue.
As for a prediction, I do think that Maddy will come face to face with this creature, but she will rely on stories that her father had told her and possibly her athleticism and running talent to save her. Perhaps her friend Roger will come to her rescue, too, in some way, and their friendship will blossom into romance.
