[40 Days in Hicksville] is worth a read, and is a great example of the power of a well-written dual-perspective narrative. -- Canadian Review of Materials
Kate doesn't want to spend one minute in the Hicksville her mother moved them to, much less the entire year she's stuck here in the decaying house they inherited from her grandparents. She misses her boyfriend and sneaking out at night to make urban exploration videos for her growing YouTube channel.
Zach, the boy who lives next door, tries to befriend Kate even though she ignores him. But when Kate discovers her estranged grandfather lives nearby, she wants to meet him despite the small-town rumours of his violent past, and takes Zach with her.
That's when they find the crevasse on her grandfather's property and the skeletons hidden inside.
That's the day they find out Kate's uncle and his friend went missing as teenagers.
Instead of counting down the days until she can leave Hicksville, Kate and Zach start working together to solve the cold case that has silenced her mother for thirty-five years.
