Interpretation During Books Bonechiller
WELCOME TO NOWHERE.Danny's dad takes a job as caretaker at a marina on the shore of a vast, frozen lake in Harvest Cove, a tiny town tucked away in Canada's Big Empty. If you're looking for somewhere to hide, this is it.
It's the worst winter in years. One night, running in the dark, Danny is attacked by a creature so strange and terrifying he tries to convince himself he was hallucinating. Then he learns about Native American legends of a monster that's haunted the lake for a thousand years. And that every generation, in the coldest winters, kids have disappeared into the night. People think they ran away.
Danny knows better. Because now the beast is after him.

Danny and his father have been moving almost every year since Danny's Mom died. Now they are in Canada, in a cold forgotten town, but Danny is making good friends here. Young people start to disappear and Danny is targeted but gets away. The love of brothers, the loyalty of friends and the beginnings of new love help pull together a crew that is a real match for the enemy that lurks in the ice cave.This is a weak 3 stars, could be given a two, but I did just like it so I'm giving it a three. The characters are interesting and the story is definitely scary, but for some reason it didn't really grab me, didn't want me to keep reading to find out what happens. I didn't get that feeling of not being able to put it down, which was missing.The reason I didn't love it is that the killing creature isn't ever really identified, what it is, does it capture the souls of the teenagers it takes or are
somewhere under the rage, there's something human. barely. sometimes you read a book that's engaging and creepy and well-written but it's just... missing something, you know? this book was definitely one of those books for me. the creature was creepy and the setting was chilling - no pun intended, but i felt like there was all of this wonderful build up and then it would just drop off into stupid shit for a few chapters, (view spoiler)[like a boxing match (which was clearly just a ploy to set
I read this book in an effort to read more "boy books." There is a reason I don't read many "boy books"--I just don't like them. They are not for me. This book was not my type of book either. I just wasn't interested in it. I couldn't get a clear picture in my head of what the "monster" looked like, so I had a hard time caring. Also, monster books just aren't my thing. I like a bad guy that's intelligent and twisted. Not just a big hulking thing that tries to eat you.That being said, I'm sure
I heard about this book on a YALSA listserv discussion of scary YA books. When I read that this book might involve some kind of wendigo-type monster, that was enough to convince me (I like werewolves... although this was not a werewolf).I was a bit concerned when the monster showed up in the few chapters. Usually I expect a horror novel to hold off on revealing the monster until the end (fear of the unknown). But the unknown here was what happened to the main character, Danny, and his friend
Personal ResponseBonechiller by Graham McNamee is a good book. It starts off a little boring but then it gets into more detail about what is happening. It also adds in a few folktale stories about Windegoś. I like how the author uses younger characters, so I can relate to as they talk about their feelings. There were many events in the book that made me want to keep reading more and that is what I look for in books. Plot SummaryDanny is a teenage boy who keeps moving from town to town with his
this book is a good book to read if you havent read anything in a while you get caught up in side stories that may distract you from whats actually happening. The story is full of suspense and mystery.So if you want to read a good book its right here.
