SNOW DAY is one of those stories that transports you back in time to a simpler world. But one that was just as menacing as now.Narrator Allwyn Baskin does a fine job of bringing the characters to life. His pleasant voice draws you in and holds your attention until the end. The steady rhyme of his voice intensifies when the action escalates.Author Dan Maurer has created a cast of realistic characters that will have you laughing and cringing. The characters are well-developed and reminiscent of youngsters from our youth. Their antics and bantering is plausible.The adventure of a group of youngsters on a typical snow day from school becomes anything but typical. Danger first comes in the form of `catching a ride' as they glide along behind cars unknown to the drivers. From there the adventure takes an even more sinister and deadly turn.For 10-year-old Bill Stone, snow days will never be the same as he tries to make his way back home running from a madman bent on catching him first.SNOW DAY is set in 1975 during an idyllic time when we believed we were safe. This chilling tale puts that time into a whole day perspective. SNOW DAY can be read around the camp fire in summer and will be strongly remembered when the flakes of winter snow are falling.FTC Full Disclosure - This audio book was sent to me by the author as part of his virtual book tour in hopes I would review it.
