I gave this one high marks for pure enjoyability. While the premise for the book is related to an old storyline from a cartoon that rhymes with Rooby-Roo, this one is quite original. It's a fun adventure story, with interesting characters who aren't the completely one-dimensional tropes that adventures-type books (and movies) tend to use. In fact, it's ready made to be turned into a movie, and at the same time the movie won't be nearly as good given the level of subtle details, twists and turns Cantero weaves into the story.

The "cast" is a group of friends who, when they were kids in 1977, solved a series of mysteries in a small, fictional lake town in Oregon. 13 years later, they reunite, though all have changed. Andy, a queer hispanic woman, and a trained muscle, takes the lead in gathering the group together. Kerri, with her pale skin and flame red hair (a character in it's own right in this story) is now a scientist. Her cousin Nate, the historian and amateur arcanist, is found in a mental health institution. Peter, sadly, is a ghost these days. And Tim, the dog, is the great grandson of their original companion Sean.

The group heads back to Blyton Hills to figure out what went wrong with their last and most famous solved case. Why do they still have unsettling nightmares? Did they really see what they think they saw back then? Is this the apocalypse? WTF HAPPENED?? Grab this one if you want to have fun, are willing to suspend a little disbelief and go along for the ride, and enjoy a read that isn't *too* deep, but still very gratifying.
