About this listen

Ever come across a situation that simply wasn't right - where someone was getting the dirty end of the stick and you wished you could make things right but didn't know how? Fourteen-year-old Jack knows how. Or rather he's learning how. He's discovering that he has a knack for fixing things. Not bikes or toys or appliances - situations...

It all starts when Jack and his best friends, Weezy and Eddie, discover a rotting corpse - the victim of ritual murder - in the fabled New Jersey Pine Barrens. Beside the body is an ancient artifact carved with strange designs. What is its secret? What is the secret of the corpse? What other mysteries hide in the dark, timeless Pine Barrens? And who doesn't want them revealed?

Jack's town, the surrounding Barrens, his friends, even Jack himself...they all have...Secret Histories.

This book seems a little forced. I am a big fan of the RMJ books and most of Wilson's other works.... but this just felt a little flat for me. I will still give the next book a go to see if it picks up but it just seems odd to me that Jack would witness such a memorable supernatural event in his life and then never mention it again as an adult once the world of the otherness crept into his.

Enjoyable, but....

The whole thing, it sounds like it was written by a 10 year old and the narration sounds the same

It’s terrible
