1.5 Stars. Maybe.
Eh. This was much more of a letdown than I had anticipated. I used this book as a read aloud for my students and was fairly disappointed, overall. The writing was disjointed. The characters thoughts didn't always seem complete. And it was much more simplistic than I assumed it would be.
The only highlight came at the end, and I appreciate how it was done, but it wasn't enough to save the entirety of the book.

I think this book was, well, interesting. I really liked how the concept of the book ultimately led up to a plot twist. This book wasn't really my type of book, but it was good anyway

So... there's not much to say about this book. It's warped and confusing, things happen too fast without much realism, and at the end they introduce a new plot point seemingly just to do it. Not a great book.
February 6, 2017
I really liked this book more than I was anticipating and I want to read the second one. It was really confusing when I got to the ending of the book. The concept was great though and I loved it.
February 6, 2017
I really enjoyed this book. It left you with so much curiosity! I didn't think I would enjoy this book as much as I did. The writing style was easy to understand, and the suspense each chapter left you with was enough to make you want more.
February 6, 2017
I thought this book was ok. In the beginning of the book it was hard to follow what was going on because of the it was written, but I liked the book more at the end because of the suspense and the huge plot twist at the end.
February 6, 2017
I would actually give this book a three and a half. I didn't like it at all at the beginning mostly because I was really confused. About half way through it got a lot better and I started to really like it.
February 6, 2017
Overall I didn't like the book. It starts to get ok and then it starts rambling on something random. I had trouble not zoning out of the book, because it has to much access information in this tiny book!

I'm not exactly sure how to feel about this. I went in knowing nothing about it. I picked up this book (and its sequel) in the middle of school simply because I had nothing else to read and I had forgotten to bring the Book Thief to school. It was kind of shoved aside with a few other copies and it took me an hour to read it because it’s only around 150 pages and in-between every chapter around 2-3 pages are either blank or black with some ominous dialogue on it that seems like it’s coming from something else ‘watching.’ (It's clear that they are watching David and their dialogue has something to do with him, but they are very short and stale so it leaves you confused even by the end, which leaves a bit of a rushed resolution, although this was probably done on purpose.) Anyways, it’s basically the Twilight Zone Jr. (just look at the cover and those creepy illuminati eyes) except it’s a mystery that’s around 150 pages. It's also written by Peter Lerangis, one of the several authors of the 39 Clues series that was popular when I was in like.. fourth grade.
First I’d like to note that this book is heavily focused on plot more than character which isn’t always a bad thing. There are two main characters: David Moore, whose father has disappeared and is presumed deceased, has visions and denies them for around 100 pages. There’s also Heather, the know-it-all who is very creepy because she DOES believe that David’s father is alive and hiding somewhere. Anyways they track down clues while David is pretty convinced that he’s hallucinating.
The writing is simple and plain but it’s what you’d expect from a creepy out-of-print kids 90s science-fiction mystery book. It's probably because this book might be targeting towards young and reluctant readers. That’s why I can see how people don’t like this. The plot and mystery can be confusing, especially the ending which we half-knew was coming based on the back of the book and how heavily implied it is to the point where it’s obvious.. But the thing is it twists that around. That being that The book is also slow-paced or fast-paced at the time. It takes 150 pages to solve a simple mystery, except the simple mystery leads to a much bigger ending and plot twist.
Basically
Chapter 1
Start of chapter blank page- (Voice 1: He's not ready)
- David's father disappears after acting weird for a whole year. After a nationwide search he is presumed dead. David's father was an orphan and has no known biological parents. On the subway, David notices his father in an abandoned section of the station with a crowd of people. His father waves at him. Someone exits the train and drops a business card.
End of chapter blank page- (Voice 2: Sometimes it just has to happen and that makes you ready)
Chapter 2
- David thinks he is crazy and nearly gets hit by a vehicle. His friend Heather saves him. David and Heather both agree that David is probably seeing things but still manage to argue.
End of chapter blank page (Voice 1: I can't watch this) (Voice 2: We have to be ready for anything)
Chapter 3
- Some guy named Anders who was his father's friend scared David while he is walking to his apartment. Anders is crazy and a weirdo.
End of chapter blank page (Voice 1: She's trouble) (Voice 2: He's gone)
Chapter 4
- Heather believes this woman is telling the truth and finds an article about the abandoned train station. Some kid named Clarence says he had a vision too, so David and Heather head to the subway.
End of chapter blank page (Voice 1: Clarence?) (Voice 2: Curious.)
Chapter 5
- On the way to the train station David and Heather argue because Heather told everybody about what David saw. So it isn't a surprise that this way actually just a prank. Before David figures that out they get on the train and it suddenly stops.
End of chapter blank page (Voice 1: But we were told not to interfere.) (Voice 2: It may not work if we don't)
Chapter 6
- Turns out someone pulled the emergency brake on the train so David attacks Clarence and the subway officer comes. David finds a mysterious business card.
End of chapter blank page (Voice 1: Oh) (Voice 2: No)
Chapter 7
- David recognizes the business card as the man in David's 'hallucination' who got off the train and dropped his business card. David runs to get the business card, but he is caught and arrested.
End of chapter blank page (Voice 1: We lost him)
Chapter 8
- David is blamed for the emergency brake being pulled and is let go with a warning. David and his mom argue about this and David tells his mom about the train hallucination, but his mother doesn't believe him. David goes to flush the business card down the toilet but flips it up and reads it right before he does,
End of chapter blank page (Voice 1: That was not part of the plan) (Voice 2: In order to get closer, you sometimes must fall behind.)
Chapter 9
- The business card reads: Miles Ruckman Administrative Assistant 9972-7660. David goes to call him and return the business card as Heather enters his apartment, however the company is closed for the weekend. Heather just goes into the phonebook and calls his home number, 9766-1848. He doesn't answer. Heather notices something on the other side of the business card that reads 'GRN LNE BETW BOOKR AND DRFIELD HI EV.BODY WISH U WERE HERE - A Persson. They make fun of this and go to 37 Bond Street, Ruckman's address. At his room, they find Anders, that random guy from Chapter 3.
End of chapter blank page (Voice 1: Why now?) (Voice 2: Why not?)
Chapter 10
- Anders leave so Heather assumes he is a burglar. David goes home and finds his mother was going to throw out all of his father's stuff. David then goes to touch his father's glove, which his father had prohibited him from doing. David finds a piece of paper hidden under it and finds the date to be from two years before the book (which would be 1996 David loves to eavesdrop and stuff so he decides to read the notes.
End of chapter blank page (Voice 1: He is hurting) (Voice 2: That, I'm afraid, is beyond our control)
Chapter 11
Chapter 12
Chapter 13
Chapter 14
Chapter 15
Chapter 16
Chapter 17
Chapter 18
So this whole thing took me twice as long as it took me to read the book.

Like A Good Middle Grade Twilight Zone
Some reviewers of this book have complained that the characters are on the shallow side and the book feels a little "thin". Publishers Weekly was downright dismissive, using words like "slow", "unsurprising" and "tiresome", which just confirms my belief that some of the people at Publishers Weekly hate books, and authors, and especially successful authors. While I understand those who faulted the book's brevity, (it's really novella length), and the absence of deep character development, I urge potential readers to consider the upside here, because this book offers many rewards, and packs a lot into its pages. (Interestingly, the one place where the book does bog down a bit is when it addresses a bit of subtext about doubt and fear versus embracing the new and the unknown, so there is a risk in trying to get too deep in a fantasy/adventure tale.)
I compared this book to a Twilight Zone episode because it feels like a single episode in a continuing anthology series, (which is exactly what it is. There are five more "Watchers" books, only loosely thematically connected.) Such a tale turns neither on intense drama nor on a convoluted plot, and deep character development is not a priority. Rather, it starts with a creepy, unnatural and mysterious event. Is our narrator disturbed; is there a logical explanation; is something otherworldly happening? Exchanges with odd or unnerving characters alternate with scenes of stark reality. What's happening here? What am I seeing out of the corner of my eye? Will anyone believe what I think I just saw? Here, the kid hero and his energetic sidekick piece together clues, find journals, talk to mysterious individuals, track down witnesses, and try to solve a mystery and explain the creepily inexplicable, while questioning their own sense of reality.
Within these pages we have a missing dad and a weird vision of a subway station that appears abandoned to everyone who passes by, except for the missing man's son. We have an adventurous attempt by the son to enter the station, a search for a passenger who did disembark at the station, a psychic's prediction, a hidden journal, an insane wise fool, references to other dimensions, and chases, searches, sneaking around, peril and threat. We follow the son as he questions his own sanity, and consider the matters of hallucinations, stress disorder, depression, and madness.
In short, we get what we got from Rod Serling every week as normal people were forced to confront paranormal situations and tried to reconcile reason and fear and the irrational.
This book is identified as ideal for reluctant readers. I think that label, which damns with faint praise, can scare some readers away. Here, it just means the book is written in a clear, direct style and moves along at a fast pace. When considered that way, all good middle grade books should qualify.
The upshot is that the writing was solid and effective, occasionally with some nice touches but without any attempt to be artsy or literary. The story is good and well told. The ending has a nice and unexpected twist and finality, and the resolution of all of the mysteries is satisfying. This is high quality stuff, and I am not at all reluctant to encourage readers to consider it.
Please note that I received a free ecopy of this book in exchange for a candid review. Apart from that I have no connection at all to either the author or the publisher of this book.

The book wasn't as good as i thought it would be. I would have understood it better if i read it to myself and didn't hear it.
February 6, 2017
It wasn't really Interesting and I never got into it until the very end.
February 6, 2017
overall I thought this book was pretty good but kind of confusing for most of it because of all the black pages and the weird names for things like phones.
February 7, 2017
An interesting story with a surprise ending which makes you want to go back and re-examine the book. A perfect light read for young adults.
August 26, 2009
I read this book with my 8th grade summer reading group and for a bunch of reluctant readers I must say we could not put this one down. We finished reading it in a week. They were glued to this novel like I have never witness before. I must applaud the author for truly bringing out the love of reading in my students. I love it. What a thriller until the very end!!
December 7, 2012
The book is very interesting and has a twist ending, a basic summary would be about a boy, David, who searches for clues about where his father may be because his father had disappeared years ago. He and his friend Heather only find clues near the end of the story. Overall, good book with an unexpected ending.

this book is confusing at first so you really got to take yur time and think about it and understand wat they may mean. this book is awsome i recomanded it too many. This book after every chapter will make you wanna read on to the next, thats how good it is. =)
April 23, 2023
I loved this book. I thought something was off about David's world, but I didn't expect the "other side" to be Earth. That was a very interesting and fun twist at the end. Can't wait to keep reading more of this series.

David is a 13 year old whose father disappeared six months ago and is presumed dead. Before he disappeared, though, he was acting very strangely, wandering off for days at a time, and talking baby talk. David is just coming to terms with what happened, when he's riding a subrail (subway) with some friends and sees his father on a platform that doesn't exist, with people that nobody else on the train can see. Of course, David has to investigate, which leads to more questions than answers.
I thought this was a good book with an interesting premise. It was a bit confusing, but things are explained by the end of the book, which then left off with a cliffhanger. You have to read it to understand this.
This was actually a short book, but it's part 1 of 6, which I think will keep the age group it's recommended for, 8 to 12 years old, interested and get them to keep reading because it is not an overwhelming length.
In summary, I enjoyed this book and think 8 to 12 year olds would find it intriguing.
4/5 stars.
I received a copy of this book free of charge in exchange for my honest opinion.

I wasn't a huge fan of this book. It took to long to get to the point. It was a while till they got to his farther and I wish it was faster then it was. I also might not have like it because I missed a few days of our class time to read and once you miss a chapter it gets confusing. I think if people like anticipation that this is a good book for you. I was pretty easy to read also it went by very fast. I hope people like it more then I did.

Unexpected, but Good
I read this book for a book club that I'm in, and I really enjoyed it! It's probably something that would have passed me by otherwise, but it was very well-paced and I thought that the twist was unexpected and fun. I was not planning to finish the series, but I might have to now!

David tells us about seeing his dad who disappeared from his other world to our present-day Earth via a sub-rail station, with postscripts from watchers. Book is set up so we have to read next in series to find out what happens.
January 15, 2025
Went on a mad googling spree after remembering finding this book at a thrift store at 12 and being terrified by the eyes on the cover and not being able to finish it hehe. I really liked it! Wish I had stuck it out as a child.
October 6, 2017
Meh...
January 1, 2019
I enjoyed reading about how the characters struggled with figuring out what was really going on. The characters were interesting and intriguing.
January 15, 2020
I couldn’t put this book down. I loved the writing style and the mysterious feel throughout the book. Can’t wait to sink my teeth into the next one... but for now I need sleep!
November 4, 2020
Not the best one in the series. But couldn't put it down. I love these growing up. Great stories and quick reads.
September 7, 2021
it was very fast and not very realistic, but I really liked the concept of it just wasn't used the right way.
September 10, 2025
Read to my students during Study Hall…we were all confused…
March 17, 2017
I would want everyone to read this book because it would captivate many kids minds and making them want to read more.
