Echo Island - by Jared C Wilson (Paperback)

About the Book

"A YA suspense-thriller, Echo Island follows four teenage boys as they attempt to solve the mystery of the disappearance of everyone in their town while discovering the truth about themselves, their home, and the nature of reality in the process."--Provided by publisher.

Book Synopsis

When four recent high school graduates return home from a weekend of camping, they expect to go back to life as usual. Instead, the boys discover empty streets, abandoned cars, and utter silence--everyone has disappeared.

As the friends attempt to solve the mystery, they stumble upon more questions than answers. Why won't the electronics work? Where did the wind go? What do the notebooks full of gibberish mean? With each new discovery, they learn that nothing was ever quite what it seemed on Echo Island and that a deep secret is drawing them in--if only they would surrender to it.

Join Bradley, Jason, Archer, and Tim on this exploration into myth and mystery. Uncover exactly what happened on Echo Island and what these four friends' story has to do with God, the meaning of life, and the nature of reality.

Review Quotes

With Echo Island, Jared Wilson has done it again. A mystery and adventure--this story will keep you turning the page. You'll hear echoes of your own story and of the "Real Story," in which C. S. Lewis says "every chapter is better than the one before." This story, once you start, will grab your attention, and if you listen, will shape your life.
