Why read it?
1 author picked Black Sand Beach as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Black Sand Beach oozes the type of weirdness that I crave. Magnetic sand, a ram that just won’t die, a kid who can’t remember why he doesn’t want to visit his families vacation home.
This book has all the ingredients you didn’t know that you absolutely needed. The farther you get into it, the creepier and stranger it gets. Cancel your travel plans and definitely skip the beach, your best course of action is to just stay home and read this one.
From Joshua's list on monster loving middle grade reads.
