"Penny Hardjoy has been obsessed with the truth ever since the day she found out her father doesn't really believe in the phenomena he writes about in the tabloid Strange World. So long, searching for Bigfoot and the alien visitors; Penny's spent her whole life since then cultivating her journalistic integrity and focusing on the facts. But everything changes when she arrives in Bone Lake, Michigan, to spend the summer with dear old dad---and finds he's gone missing while investigating a new "story." Two local teens are missing also. And a hiker died in the woods a few months back... With the help of the boy next door, Dex, and Bone Lake's star quarterback, Micah, Penny sets off to find her father. But the deeper she digs, the weirder things start to get. Townspeople repeating the same phrases---verbatim. Men in black suits trolling around Main Street. Chunks of her memory gone missing. Pretty soon, Penny's research leads her to the long-ago meteorite crash in Bone Lake's woods, and she's going to have to reconsider her definition of "real" if she wants answers..." --- Cover.
