Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

The first in a new format of books targeted to tweens and teens, The Veritas Project: Hangman's Curse will keep readers enthralled. Frank Peretti introduces Nate Springfield, his wife Sarah, and their twin children Elijah and Elisha, who are part of the Veritas Project team. This group travels the country aiding the FBI and other organizations in breaking drug rings and solving mysteries. In Hangman's Curse, the family goes undercover at a small town high school - where a mysterious curse has turned several of the star football players into raving lunatics who can only be tied to their hospital beds while doctors are baffled by their symptoms. Elijah and Elisha must befriend the various cliques at school, and help their parents solve the mystery of Abel Frye (a name the sick kids mutter in their delirium).

This story could have come straight from the headlines about many schools around the country and will lead kids and young adults to an understanding of peer pressure and the pain that comes from being different. It is a riveting message on the wounded spirit that teens will never forget.

Synopsis:

When several students at Baker High School are stricken by an alleged curse of the school's ghost, Elijah and Elisha Springfield and their parents, undercover investigators, are sent to uncover the truth behind the events.

I REALLY LOVED THIS BOOK AND ITS SEQUAL "NIGHTMARE ACADEMY" I ENJOY THESE BOOKS CAUSE THEY HAVE COMEDY SUSPENSE AND THEY ARE ALSO CHRISTIAN THEY TALK ABOUT POSITIVE THINGS AND THAT EXCITES ME. ALTHOUGH IF YOU WATCH THE MOVIE HANGMANS CURSE THERE ARE VERY BIG DIFFERENCES IN THE TWO BUT BOTH ARE STILL VERY GOOD.
