Book 21: The Prince of Mist

The Prince of Mist by Zafon is a supernatural tale written for young adults. The Carver family decides to move away from the current war to a village on the coast. The home that their father had purchased once belonged to a doctor whose son Jacob had drowned. What should have been a summer of exploration with their new friend Roland quickly takes a much darker turn. While their younger sister is in the hospital after a mysterious accident, Max, Alicia, and Roland slowly begin to uncover the secret of a magician known as the prince of the mist. Can they uncover the truth that the old lighthouse keeper is so desperately trying to hide? Is it even possible to stop the evil pact made by the doctor and save themselves?

An excellent read for those looking for a quick supernatural thriller. I would recommend it for ages 14 and up.
