Synopsis

Summer of 2009 a group of fourteen middle graders venture off to Dragonfly Island, along Willapa Bay, in the state of Washington. Who is Lizzy the lizard lady and why did she try to stop Alexandria from boarding the boat to Dragonfly Island? After the first night, the older kids notice something's not quite right with the counselors. They have a strange odor about them and never remove their sunglasses. Why do some of the campers become ill and have to spend the night in the infirmary instead of going home? Why is the freezer in the infirmary stocked with bags of blood and where did the blood come from? Why were the cell phones taken from the campers their first night? Why are there graves on the island and why is one of them not filled in? At first, the kids think their counselors are vampires, but they soon learn otherwise and when the older kids discover the counselors are after them, they disappear into the vegetation to hide from the counselors and their frightening leader, Dr. Gylofan. They learn how to survive for almost two weeks on the island hoping for a rescue boat. Will they ever make it off of the island?

About this title

About the Author:

Growing up in Omaha, Nebraska, Patricia A. Bremmer had a strong fascination for mysteries and puzzles. As a young girl, she spent hours solving crossword and other word puzzles and devouring every Perry Mason book she could get her hands on. Patricia married at age twenty, and joined her husband on the road traveling across the United States with a stable of racehorses, giving her a feel for a variety of cultures and landscape. Not to mention an outstanding knowledge of horses. To earn extra money she made jockey silks and saddle towels to sell to trainers and owners at the racetracks. After starting her family, she moved to a small rural area in western Nebraska, which gives her the ability to write that small town country feel into scenes in her books as well as her big city experience. Bremmer discovered her talent for storytelling in 2003 when she penned her first mystery novel. Since then she spends several months of the year putting her plots to paper. The rest of the time is devoted to her kennel of West Highland White Terriers. An excellent speaker, Bremmer makes guest appearances at libraries, book stores and schools to captivate her audiences with her relaxed tone while discussing her writing. And, to add to the excitement of her appearances, she frequently includes her real life detective who has become the sleuth in her novels. Together they charm and entertain the crowds. To keep up with her puzzle loving personality she adds an Elusive Clue word puzzle hidden within the pages of her books, a real treat that brings out the detective in her readers. Patricia Bremmer, mother of three has seven grandchildren and one on the way. Bremmer is a member of Sisters in Crime and the Nebraska Writer s Guild.
