Snow day by Dan Maurer

 

The first couple chapters of this book had me hooked. It started off as a normal Snow day: Children having fun, making snow angels and doing average child like things. When Tommy gets hit by a snowball we then understand why he is the way he is and we learn about his background a bit more. I was shocked at how tragic his life actually is behind closed doors. I wanted to know more about him and for that reason I didnt want to put the book down. When tommy finally escapes his home he goes to find Bobby, Billy and Lucy. They choose to run away from Tommy but he only wanted to play with them. He felt left out and so he decided to shout after the others. If Billy had stopped and waited for Tommy sooner, Tommy wouldn't of done what he did next, for Billy had turned to see that Tommy had entered a strangers vehicle. If Tommy hadn't gotten into that car would this have meant that the following events wouldnt of happened...events that would haunt both Tommy and Billy and change snow days forever??

 

I still cant get over how good this book is, I really didnt want it to end. I would rate this book 5 out of 5 and hope Dan Maurer writes more books similar to this.

 

A MUST READ....

Description of Snow day

 

It happens each winter, and has for over 35 years. Every time the snow starts to fall late in the evening before a school day, the dreams begin again for Billy Stone. They are always the same – there’s a dark tunnel, and there’s blood, lots of blood, and someone is screaming.
> >>
> >> In this chilling childhood tale, Billy, recounts the events of one unforgettable day in 1975. On that day, he and his friends played carefree in the snow, until an adventure gone awry left him far from home, staring death in the face, and running from a killer bent on keeping a horrible secret.
> >>
> >> Set in a time before Amber Alerts, when horror stories were told around camp fires instead of on the nightly news, Snow Day is a blend of nostalgia and nightmare that makes us question if the good old days were really as good as we remember
