Strong Bones by Robert J. Peterson
4.0
Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for providing a free e-book ARC for me to read. This review is my honest opinion.
The cover of Strong Bones captured my attention, with it clearly being marketed as being similar in feeling to Stranger Things. I also liked that it was said to have pop culture references similar to Ready Player One. As I read the book, I was impressed by the author's ability to create a creepy atmosphere with the main character sleepwalking and having visions with the Plaid Man. I also enjoyed the mysterious element of having a serial killer on the loose. The community feeling of the characters added to my enjoyment of the story.
Even though I'm not part of the target audience for middle grade books, I still had a good time reading this one.
