Synopsis
On a six-mile hike on the Maine-New Hampshire branch of the Appalachian Trail, nine-year-old Trisha McFarland quickly tires of the constant bickering between her older brother, Pete, and her recently divorced mother. But when she wanders off by herself, and then tries to catch up by attempting a shortcut, she becomes lost in a wilderness maze full of peril and terror.As night falls, Trisha has only her ingenuity as a defense against the elements, and only her courage and faith to withstand her mounting fears. For solace she tunes her Walkman to broadcasts of Boston Red Sox baseball games and follows the gritty performances of her hero, relief pitcher Tom Gordon. And when her radio's reception begins to fade, Trisha imagines that Tom Gordon is with her -- protecting her from an all-too-real enemy who has left a trail of slaughtered animals and mangled trees in the dense, dark woods...., The acclaimed #1 New York Times and undisputed King of Horror Stephen King offers a frightening suspense novel about a young girl who becomes lost in the woods as night falls.

    The book was listed as “like new”, but there was considerable wear on the cover and on the pages. I wish that the seller had provided an actual photograph of the item. I expected the book to look closer to “like new” condition. The item was shipped on time, but it should have been in better condition considering the listing.

    Very nice Book! Has all the pages nothing ripped out of it… it did have some lines under the words from a pencil but I erased them a some of the pages where folded dog ear style but I fixed that. Overall I recommend buying the book! I love it! it’s been used but that means the book has a history in somebody else’s hand.

  • This is unlike other Stephen King novels...,

    ...but impossible to put down even if you don't like baseball. It's one of my favorite books.
