Something Lurking in the Bell Tower Eric James Patterson

Imagine a modern community with no cars; an unusual curfew that lasts only one hour each night; eating food through tubes connected to belly buttons; a mystery of missing kids all dressed in pig costumes; only one boy with the awareness to seek out the answers to life's unasked questions. These are just some of the weird things plaguing the small town of Voltage. Will the mystery be solved? Or will it just lead to an even bigger mystery? Join Jacob in his search for the truth. As strange as it all seems, nothing in this small town is ever questioned until a mysterious Halloween costume shop pops up one day, sells a few remarkable costumes, and then disappears. Jacob discovers later that kids begin to vanish during the one-hour curfew. The mystery unravels as he searches for their abductor.
