FRISBEE
It’s the summer of 1982 and in Corona, California four boys find themselves doing what all boys normally do during a school break; exploring, playing ball and collecting bottles from a construction site in order to cash them in for money. Steve, Jason, Cory and Ricky have lived on the same street for years and have played there, carefree ever since. But when a serial killer invades their small city they find themselves caught up in a series of grisly murders that brings them face to face with a menace that the authorities have named: the Sesame Street Killer.
The oldest, Steve, reads the others the newspaper articles depicting the killings and after the second girl goes missing they find themselves exploring a massive California pepper tree and stumble upon a lost dog that proves to be more than it seems. Its beautiful, golden eyes seem to see more than the boys themselves can.
Steve comes from a broken home; his father has left years ago and he now suffers abuse at the hands of his older brother while trying to protect the same abuse form happening to his younger sister.
Jason, the rational one of the four, must look into his heart to keep his friends on the right path, the path that leads into their futures.
Cory is the wild one, the mischief maker, and wherever he goes, trouble follows. He chooses to fight older kids, argues with adults and curses constantly. He will put the other boy’s lives on the line and will have to help correct the wrongs he’s done. But the one challenge he will need to overcome the most will be himself.
Ricky, the youngest, has been sleeping badly. For weeks he’s had nightmares that he calls the Dark Dreams, dreams of popping bubbles and screaming voices that foreshadow future events. But he is put to the ultimate test when he realizes that his darkest dream is yet to come.
Frisbee will take you back to your childhood, to a time when it was cool to wear surfer shorts and Vans slip-ons. It will take you back to the convenience store where you played your first games of Asteroids and Pac-Man. But worst of all it will take you to a place of extreme evil, a place that the Sesame Street Killer calls: the Shelter.

This is a fascinating story, but really needs a proofreading. The author does a very nice job of getting us to feel like a young boy is talking to us, telling us a story from his point of view. There are moments in the story where it was rather frustrating to deal with the spelling and punctuation issues, but the voice and details of the story were enough to make it worthwhile. Still, if the author could get a good editor to help him clean up the story it would easily go from four to five stars.

I really enjoyed this story that is not only a murder, mystery but a reminiscence of childhood. As a child we see the world differently and in this book, four friends, Jason, Ricky, Cory and Steve are like most young me growing up, that is until a serial killer strikes in their small town and a bit of innocence is lost. For me the story is a bit of a cross between King's "Stand By Me" and Lehane's "Mystic River" or a similar story. I found thee\ writing a good style for readers to settle into and be carried along on the journey. Great job by an author it has been my pleasure to find.

I got this (free) book because it had a good rating at the Barnes and Noble site. Although the story was entertaining, it was very poorly written, and had obviously never been proofread. (Spellcheck only fixes spelling mistakes, not grammar and other errors!) There were also many tedious details and much unnecessary repetition. I won't read anything more by this author.
