Al good things must end. It’s the last summer before high school. Four friends, Jacob, Ichiro, Hannah and Hayden, vow to make it epic. But when they discover an abandoned house on a forgotten island, their fun takes a dark turn. Terrified by what they learn about the house called “Summer’s End,” but unable to resist its call, they decide to camp out on the island. . . and their summer to remember turns into a nightmare they won’t soon forget!

Reviews

[A] deliciously creepy and suspenseful tale, perfect for young readers making their first foray into horror. - Canadian Children's Book News
[The] climax of the story is just as breathtakingingly scary as it should be. Summer’s End is a good, fun addition to the young adult horror fiction section of a middle school classroom or library.” - CM: Canadian Review of Materials Link to review
When it gets to the spooky business, Summer’s End is tense and unnerving in all the best ways. - Quill & Quire, magazine of the Canadian book trade Link to review
