Some towns survive by forgetting.
When thirteen-year-old twins Levi and Frankie uncover the theft of a priceless historic book from their small-town museum, they expect secrets.
They don't expect the town itself to fight back.
The stolen book-known only as the Codex-contains records no one was meant to read: names erased from history, bargains struck in silence, and dark truths about Hollow Creek's founding families. As Levi and Frankie dig deeper, they discover the book isn't just history-it's alive. And it's been choosing who pays the price for the town's safety for generations.
The deeper the twins investigate, the more Hollow Creek begins to unravel. Memories return that were never supposed to. Fires, disappearances, and forgotten names resurface. And beneath it all, something ancient waits-hungry, patient, and used to being fed.
Now Levi and Frankie must do what no one before them has dared to do: tell the truth out loud.
But in a town built on forgetting, remembering comes at a cost.
The Lost Secrets of Hollow Creek is a gripping middle grade mystery filled with eerie atmosphere, brave kids, and a powerful message about truth, choice, and the danger of silence. Perfect for readers who love spooky mysteries without horror, supernatural secrets, and stories where kids are smarter than the adults who underestimate them.
