LitPick Review
The Sleepwalkers by J. Gabriel Gates is about rich, popular, Caleb Mason. Born in Hudsonville, Florida, he moved to Malibu at age 7 after his parent's divorce. On the night of his graduation Caleb get's a strange letter in the mail. Christine, his childhood friend from Florida, had sent him a plea for help. Their old home town has been plagued by disappearances of children and the old insane asylum has been re-opened. Christine has been trapped in the building and Caleb and his best friend, Bean, have set off to save her.
Opinion:
Sleepwalkers was an overall captivating book and is a very quick read. The author uses choice language to instill a sense of horror into the whole book, making the pages seem to fly by. It was scary, but not in the usual sense. Instead of just continuous events, the author adds some mystery to the book by leaving you wondering about what is happening. The characters are believable, likable, and easy to relate to. I liked this book a lot and would recommend it to older teens because of some mature themes.
