MY SUPERNATURAL YA TITLE: THE MEN IN THE TREES
By Marsh Myers
SYNOPSIS: The Men in the Trees centers around a teen mother, Meryl Panagos, who’s barely out of high school, living on her own and struggling to raise a young son in a small Oregon town. Although Meryl has a good job at a friend’s comic book store, it’s still difficult to make ends meet or even find time to talk to the handsome university student who keeps hanging around. Then Rose Washington answers her ad for a roommate and it’s like a wish come true. A retired school teacher, Rose is happy to help cook, clean and even babysit when needed. But Rose has secrets — including a preoccupation with the surrounding wilderness and a century-old legend which may be more ominous than it first appears. Be careful what you wish for.
REVIEWS:
"A tale of monsters and mysteries with a credible female protagonist who doesn't shrink like a violet but also doesn't act like a guy..." -Goodreads Reader
"Myers has a way of slipping in surprising and delight bits of humor while developing a deep mystery..." -Children's Author Ruth Musgrave
"This is a book which will keep your hair standing on end and wondering who really has secrets and who doesn't. I highly recommend it." -Barnes & Noble reader
"This was a very engaging YA novel about monsters and historical mysteries. A great read for late at night or an overcast day with rain..." -Barnes & Noble reader
