There are also guns, puzzle boxes, Hebrew script, and barf-tainted kisses. There are delicious hints of government conspiracies, mad scientists, and cover ups. There are layers to this town that I’m sure will be revealed as the series progresses. Of course, nothing is quite what it seems in Trona. Now high school seniors, Camm and Cal are in a race to discover one of Trona’s darkest secrets before it can kill again. Seven years ago on Halloween night, Cal’s younger brother Hughie disappeared and Camm has never forgiven herself. Set in the Mohave desert, Pitch Green introduces us to Trona, a small California town whose only claim to fame is a dry lakebed where chemicals are extracted and processed in the town’s factory and a huge deserted mansion that miraculously repairs and cleans itself. Pitch Green, by Berk and Andy Washburn publishing as the Brothers Washburn, is the first in their young adult Dimensions in Death series.
It’s a problem and puzzle they’ll have to solve before it strikes again and another child disappears. Camm and Cal have a problem that’s stinkier than a sulfur lava vent, creepier than a naked rat tail, and hungrier than a shark.
