Eight-year-old Chuck and nine-year-old Julienne vanished from Manger, Kentucky without a trace. Afterwards, the town of Manger turned in on itself. Payden was part of a large and unusual birth cohort born in the nine to twelve months after the disappearances, a cohort nicknamed “the insurance children.” Everything begins to change when thirteen-year-old Minka moves to town and makes it her mission to bring Manger outside. But another child is taken. Minka and Payden must solve the mystery to save the town.
The Outside Club
by
Jeff Baker
From childhood’s hour I have not been
As others were—I have not seen
As others saw—I could not bring
My passions from a common spring . . .
From the thunder and the storm—
And the cloud that took the form
(When the rest of heaven was blue)
Of a demon in my view—
- Edgar Allan Poe
