Marshall Seaver is looking forward to spending the summer with his best friend, Cooper, but an incident with some phony tickets has changed all that. Cooper's family whisks him away to their lake house where he disappears. Cooper's family thinks he's just run off again, but Marshall is convinced something is wrong, especially when he starts hearing strange noises and seeing strange things.
Strangest of all is the appearance of "Gravedigger," who should only exist on the pages of Marshall's sketchbook.
Convinced that all the weirdness is somehow connected to Cooper's disappearance, Marshall sets out to find him. As he delves further into the mystery of his friend's disappearance, Marshall uncovers a nightmare worse than anything he could have ever imagined.
The premise sounded interesting, but I had no idea what I was getting into when I opened the cover and began reading this book. The journey down the MORPHEUS ROAD thrilled me with every page turn. Though I managed to solve some of the mysteries before Marshall did, the engaging writing and characters kept me marching along the road until I reached the surprising ending.
There were some bumps in the road, but not enough to give me a flat tire and make me stop reading. I couldn't get enough of MacHale's first MORPHEUS ROAD story, and can't wait to find out what will happen next!
