No one ever sees the Whisperer in the Dark when it first lets you know it's chosen you as its prey.
Maddie has always loved scary stories--until she heard about the Whisperer in the Dark. Now the most frightening legend of all is becoming just a bit too real. Once, twice, three times he's called out to her.
Soon, very soon, it is going to come for me.
Joseph Bruchac's retellings of Native American legends have earned him rave reviews and multiple awards. Infused with chilling suspense and heartstopping action, Whisper in the Dark, is perfect for middle-grade readers who love a good scare.
An ancient and terrifying Narragansett Indian legend begins to come true for Maddy, a teenage long-distance runner whose recovery from the accident that killed her parents has stunned everyone, including her guardian aunt.
