A review by bookgirl4ever
The Crossroads by Chris Grabenstein

3.0

Poor Zack! He is traumatized by his late emotionally abusive mom and feels he is still haunted by her. Luckily his dad remarries a wonderful gal and buys a new house in the town where he grew up to start over new. The house is right next to the town's crossroads that hold a tragic, horrific past.

While the story isn't wonderful, I like how Zack's step-mother is very involved in the story and how Zack overcomes the negative thoughts that his biological mom has put into his head.

Upper elementary.
