Artie's Bark
A boy and his dog face a deadly small-town secret in this haunting coming-of-age horror novel.
Brighton Falls is a typical small town, with its bad baseball team, clean sidewalks, and nosy neighbors. But that all changes when someone’s pet is brutally killed, and other animals start going missing. When young Tommy Watson’s dog Artie falls gravely ill, the middle schooler sets out to save his canine friend—and begins to unravel an evil, small-town secret that goes back centuries . . .
With a community on edge and time running out, it’s up to Tommy—and his dog—to finally put the menace to rest. But as his courage and love are put to the test, he’ll have to make the hardest decision of his life.
