Gr 9 Up— Dan, Abby, and Jordan are forced to revisit their traumatic past at Brookline Asylum when mysterious photos draw them back to town and to dark secrets. This is a seriously spooky tale; purchase this series where quirky horror is popular.
Dan, Abby, and Jordan (Asylum) return to haunted psychiatric-hospital-cum-college-dorm Brookline to investigate an ominous message. This time they uncover connections among Dan's unscrupulous asylum-warden ancestor; a secret society gaining influence by hypnotizing and lobotomizing townsfolk; and a creepy on-campus carnival. Despite some inconsistent logic, the slightly gory suspense and atmospheric stock photos will keep horror fans turning pages.
