Triskellion
I've only read the first few chapters of Triskellion by Will Peterson but it seems really good. So far the plot has been kind of creepy but very interesting. It starts with the kids when they were alot younger, feeling pain about their parents divorce. Since divorce is so common in America these days, that is probably an experience alot of kids can relate to. Then when they arrive in Triskellion, after their parents send them away to live with their grandmother for the summer, there is no one there to greet them. They finally find an old bike and a map but when they get to the village no one is there but creepy things are happening, one of the wierdest is Adam (the younger brother) being randomly punched by two people who just appear out of nowhere. When he wakes back up, the town is full of happy and smiling people. I stopped reading at the part when they arrive at their grandmothers house but I'm excited to read the rest. The only complaint I would have so far is that the relationship between the siblings is very fake. They have alot of inside jokes, are super happy with each other all the time, and know each other in and out. Well some of this is true about siblings the book only shows a perfect sibling relationship which kind of takes away some of the realism about the characters. However so far it has been a really good book.
