"The Pricker Boy" by Reade Scott Whinnem follows the story of a young boy named Allen who is determined to uncover the truth behind the mysterious disappearance of his best friend, Zach. Set in a small, enigmatic town with dark secrets, Allen embarks on a harrowing journey that intertwines friendship, loyalty, and the haunts of the past. As he delves deeper into the town's history, he confronts unsettling events and the chilling legend of the Pricker Boy—a figure of folklore that comes to symbolize fear and loss. The novel explores themes of grief, the power of myth, and the struggles of coming of age in an unsettling world. [Generated by language model - please report any problems].
