I was not sure what I was getting with Snow Day but I was expecting a short little scary story with a storybook ending......  not even close.  This is a much too realistic story of a ten year old boy who was thrust into a nightmare not of his making.  I was having some remembrances of Mystic River,The Lady in Whiteand a one of An American  Werewolf In London (no there are no werewolves in this book).  It was shocking, engrossing and terrible with an ending that while far from happy ever after was satisfying for the reader and probably will make you remember it everytime it snows.There is not a lot I can add to this without telling too much since this story is short (approx 100 pages) and it starts with a slap on the face then backs things up a bit.  You are lulled into  a typical northern snow day away from school before things take a horrible turn.  This is a great story packed into these 100 pages and I highly recommend you read it.
