About this listen

Twelve-year-old Danny has escaped the children's home where he has lived since he was four, returning to the Shenandoah Valley to find his parents and demanding to know why they gave him up. Very soon, though, he realizes there is something dark and dangerous about his parents, something he is afraid to understand, but more afraid not to understand. With the help of Jenni, a young neighbor, Danny quietly and courageously investigates the clues leading to the answers about his parents, his family, and what hides in the dark mountain cave not far away.

Each Ameri-Scares novel is based on or inspired by an historical event, folktale, legend, or myth unique to that particular state.

It was an okay story. It was very easy to guess the mystery of Danny's parents, even a child could have guessed it. Although it was a short story, I think the author lengthened it too much, it could have been a shorter story. There were some parts that weren't very credible, but I guess it's okay because it's a children/young adult book in any case.
The narration was immersive and great, though.
I hope the other books are better.

Danny wasn’t a strong - nor weak - main character. He was very bland and I couldn’t find myself rooting for his happy ending.
Even the ’friendships’ he recalled as a 4 yr old weren’t very tangible.
A native Virginian, I was intrigued then let down. I don’t feel the atmosphere nor setting was captured and painted.
I hadn’t heard of the legend (revealed in the final two chapters) and had to look it up. Again, the book didn’t do justice.
I have several other books in this series on my shelf but they aren’t calling to me.

Narrator kept the me from giving up, when it seemed the story was dragging on ...
