The Thing in the Timberline

Every night at midnight, something growls from the trees above Camp Silvertip -- and it is getting closer.

Twelve-year-old Casey didn't want to go to summer camp. She didn't want a bunkmate, a buddy, or a single new friend. She just wanted three quiet weeks to pass by unnoticed. But Camp Silvertip has other plans -- starting with the low, rumbling growl that echoes from the timberline every night at exactly midnight, and the counselors who insist it's "just wildlife" while looking scared out of their minds.

When Casey and her reluctant new friend Miguel sneak up to a cave above camp, they find ancient carvings warning of a creature that has slept in the mountain for a hundred years. And their late-night campfire prank may have just woken it up.

Now campers are sneaking into the woods in eerie, glassy-eyed trances, one by one, and Casey is starting to realize the thing in the timberline isn't just hungry -- it's calling to something buried deep in every camper's worst fears. With only until the next full moon to figure out how to put it back to sleep, Casey has to face the dark, the mountain, and the one fear she's been running from her whole life.

Perfect for readers ages 8-12 who love spooky summer camp horror, monster mysteries, and classic scares with real heart, in the tradition of R.L. Stine. Fans of campfire ghost stories and creepy middle-grade horror won't want to put this one down.
