Description
After Nate moves into his new house, he discovers an old tape recorder in his bedroom and is suddenly thrust into a dark mystery about a boy who went missing many years ago. Now, as strange creatures begin to stalk Nate, he must partner with Tabitha, a local sleuth, to find out what they want with him. But time is running out, because a powerful force is gathering strength in the woods at the edge of town, and before long Nate and Tabitha will have to confront a terrifying foe and uncover the truth about the Lost Boy. Praise for The Lost Boy: "Drily funny . . . {and} jaw-droppingly gorgeous." -Publishers Weekly "A visually exciting, cinematic atmosphere." -School Library Journal "Dark Horse author/illustrator Ruth creates a sinister, yet familiar urban fantasy of parallel worlds . . . A refreshing fantasy in which not all is spelled out, with tantalizing hints at a sequel." -Kirkus "Kids are always clamoring for scary books, but far too few deliver the goods in a satisfyingly creepy way. Fortunately, that's not the case with this eerie, atmospheric graphic novel," -Horn Book Greg Ruth has written and drawn stories for Dark Horse Comics, DC/Vertigo Comics, Fantagraphics, and the New York Times. He is also the illustrator of Our Enduring Spirit, a picture book edition of President Barack Obama's first inaugural address, and the creator of the graphic novel The Lost Boy. Greg lives and works in western Massachusetts.
