Summary

Their summer vacation started out like every other for the 17-year-old boys: long, fun days of baseball, fishing, and working on an abandoned houseboat discovered on the riverbank...and then kids started coming up missing.

When Jason and his friends started working on the old broken-down river boat that they found during a fishing expedition, they never could have imagined where the project would take them just a couple of weeks later—a desperate search for a missing friend, escaped murderers from the local insane asylum lurking about—and an unfortunate loss of childhood innocence.

The Houseboat is quickly becoming a favorite YA Adventure book for teenaged boys and their parents, especially for those who love suspenseful, character-building experiences and brave, resourceful heroes.

What should've been a summer of adventures and first loves turns into a real-life nightmare that could haunt them for the rest of their lives.
