It has a very interesting premise, but it&#8217;s taking too long to get to the point. It&#8217;s about ghosts, and monsters and things going bump in the night, but too many things are going on at the same time. Timothy&#8217;s family is having trouble accepting to his older brother&#8217;s injury received during his tour of duty in Iraq. Abigail is having trouble accepting her parent&#8217;s divorce. Abigail&#8217;s grandmother is supposedly the main character in a book written about an incident that she experienced when she was a teenager. The victims of this incident is apparently returning to haunt Timothy, Abigail, their history teacher and a fellow classmate. Finding out why is the plot of the book. I am not recommending this title for the final list, mostly because the characters are seventh graders and the book reads like it was written on a 5th-7th grade reading and interest level. I can&#8217;t see any high school student being interested in the problems of these characters.<br \/>I&#8217;ll finish reading it, but only because I want to see where the author will end up, not because I&#8217;m interested in where he&#8217;s going.      <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>FlumeAward &#8211; The Nightmarys \/\/The Nightmarys\/\/ by Dan PoblockiI am having trouble getting through this book.
