Wow!

Torie and her sis, Sara have to go visit their grandparents for the whole summer. Niether of them are jumpping for joy. They go and meet two cosins. One whom they haven't seen for five years. Elija is tall, quiet, and shy. They meet Reenie for the first time. He is a highschool drop-out, mean, and a JD (Juvinile Deliquent) Torie befriends these two boys, yet they shut Sara out because she is stuck up, snoby, rude, and a sissie. The four kids soon discover an old secret in an old house. Torie, Elija, and Reenie come closer together suffering though fights, bother verbal and physical, yet these very fights make these cousins as close as PB & J. A tragic accident causes them to almost loose Sara. This part is sad because they had just yelled at her. She pulls though. Then the secret to the old house is revieled. In the end, someone dies. I won't tell you who, you'll just have to read it for yourself, but personally, he was my favorite character. This book shows how family relationships can effect eveyone, including a dead boy who haunts the house nextdoor. This book should be made into a movie. I can just picture the characters and how they would look and act. I bought this book out of desperation today. I went to the 75% off Bookstore and got it just because I would have to do a report on a book and just gravved Rimwalkers. I finished it about ten minutes ago and cried at the end. If you love romance, mystery, science fiction, family reationships, and death as well as life, THIS IS THE BOOK FOR YOU!!! I loved it and I highly recomend that you read it. It is very fast-pace and can easily be read in a day or two. Next time you are at the library, pick up RIMWALKERS BY VICKY GROVE. I KNOW THAT YOU'LL LIKE IT. I laughed, I cried, and I was a little scared. BELIEVE ME, YOU'LL LOVE EVERY FAST PACED PAGE OF RIMWALKERS

An unforgettable book!

I bought this book from a school book fair, intrigued by it. Tory, the story's main character was so much like me. A quiet, shy, unpopular girl in the shadow of her younger sibling. When she ends up at her grandparents' farm for the summer, suddenly she's in the spotlight. Tory befriends her teenage cousins and embarks on an incredible summer of personal growth and learning. Her daredevil cousin Rennie helps her learn to take risks, from rimwalking the old Cavendish Crossing bridge to solving the mystery of an old house. In the process, she shuts out her younger sister, which leads Sara to take the biggest risk of all.This little-known book is one that I can honestly say changed my life. Not only did it give me a catchy name for a website, but it taught me that sometimes we all have to take risks in the course of our lives. This book truly has a magic about it, it is one that will keep you turning pages all night. Even today, 4 years from when I bought it, it remains one of my all-time favorites, and one I read constantly. Don't miss out on this unforgettable book!

This book captivates the imagination, and shows you just how much can change in a couple of weeks. When I read this book I never put it down, from the very beginning it takes you into the character's lives. If you want a spell binder, this is the book for you. It mixes adventure and mystery perfectly. This is a must buy.
