Publisher's Synopsis
In the town of Broad Run, West Virginia...Vance Archer and Marybeth Wilkins, a pair of adventurous seventh graders, have discovered an exciting activity called geocaching-a kind of scavenger hunt using GPS technology-which leads them after hidden treasures in the woods around their community. However, on one of their outings, they encounter a frightening, half-seen creature with glowing red eyes watching them from the shadows. Soon, Vance begins to receive mysterious messages on his phone from a caller named Indrid Cold. He learns that this name is associated with the legendary Mothman, a strange, unearthly being that is said to appear when some terrible event is about to occur. Believing that they-as well as their friends and loved ones-may soon face mortal danger, Vance and Marybeth try to solve the increasingly strange clues before disaster strikes.Each Ameri-Scares novel is based on or inspired by an historical event, folktale, legend, of myth unique to that particular state.
