Welcome to Bettendorf. At first glance, it seems like a typical Midwestern town, but take a closer look and you might be surprised.<\/p>\n

High schooler Jack Davies sees the darkness coming; he lives with it. Cold voices call out from the closet door; dead hands reach up from under his bed. Although he doesn’t know it, Jack wields a great power.<\/p>\n

Now, a smooth-talking preacher has come to town promising freedom and redemption for all who follow his words. But like Jack, this preacher has a secret. Those who heed his call find themselves pawns in his plan to awaken an ancient evil, long ago imprisoned in the dank caves of Devils Glen Park.<\/p>\n

With the help of a widowed police officer, a babysitter, and a mysterious spirit called Ava, Jack must find the truth about his hidden power in time to battle the dark forces that have descended upon his town. If he fails, our world will be cast into darkness forever.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

My name is Collin Frost. I\u2019m a fairly unpopular seventeen-year-old high school student. This is my story \u2026 one that chronicles how my already dredge of a life went from miserable to totally and irreversibly jacked.<\/p>\n

I guess I should start at the beginning \u2026 right before we were shanghaied-up into that alien spaceship. It all started on the way back from the game. I\u2019m the kicker. We lost. It was because of me. Big surprise. But everything started to really go south when the school bus pulled up at another railroad crossing in just one more hicksville small town in rural Texas. At first, I didn\u2019t see what the bus driver, the cheerleaders, or my teammates were gawking at. And there it was, hovering high up in the sky \u2026 a goliath-sized space-ship. I watched as the 6:15 Amtrak commuter train was unceremoniously sucked-up into the spaceship\u2019s gaping underbelly aperture.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Modern parenting is defined by an unprecedented level of overprotectiveness: parents who rush to school at the whim of a phone call to deliver forgotten assignments, who challenge teachers on report card disappointments, mastermind children\u2019s friendships, and interfere on the playing field. As teacher and writer Jessica Lahey explains, even though these parents see themselves as being highly responsive to their children\u2019s well being, they aren\u2019t giving them the chance to experience failure\u2014or the opportunity to learn to solve their own problems.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
