Crybaby Bridge (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780692497197)

Ten-year-old Krissy and her teenage brother James live a simple life in rural Ohio with their parents and step-grandmother, spending hours exploring the countryside with their friends, including daring each other to stand near the dead tree full of dismembered baby dolls at Crybaby Bridge.

But when Krissy's turn at the bridge is foiled by her brother's prank, the kids scatter and return home-except for one boy. Police and volunteers begin a massive search, but there's no sign of him.

Krissy, James, and their friends join in the hunt, but when more children are found missing, everyone goes on high alert. Ten years earlier, children disappeared in a similar way, and the residents are filled with fear at the thought of reliving the horror again.

Their family slowly deteriorates amidst the heartbreak that surrounds them, and Krissy and James find themselves on their own as more of their friends vanish.

Time is running out.

Filled with gut-wrenching suspense, Crybaby Bridge captures the essence of a child's fear as an entire community scrambles to solve the mystery behind a parent's worst nightmare.
