But in the quiet seaside town of Hawkes Harbor in Delaware, Jamie discovers something that is enough to drive him insane - and change his life forever. For it is in Hawkes Harbor that Jamie comes face to face with the ultimate evil...'A rousing read...This is a contemporary "Treasure Island" with a genre-bending twist' - "Publishers Weekly".

Media Reviews
A dark, funny, scary, suspenseful tale that will entertain mainstream and adventure/horror readers alike... . The basic elements that made her book The Outsiders a long-time bestseller are present in this rousing read. This is a contemporary Treasure Island with a genre-bending twist. -- Publishers Weekly on Hawkes Harbor

I gave myself to Hawkes Harbor from the very first page. I loved the mystery of it. Unfolding so deliberately. And then such horror, I wanted to echo Jaime' s fevered plea: ' Don' t let it be dark... Don' t let it be dark!' -- Bestselling author R. L. Stine

Set in Delaware and spanning the decades from the 1950s to the ' 70s, Hawkes Harbor is an adventure tale with plenty of twists, turns and action. -- San Antonio Express-News

Hinton offers a suspenseful, thought-provoking book, and the cross-genre plot makes for an entertaining read. -- The Oklahoman on Hawkes Harbor
