YORK, Maine, Oct. 1, 2003 (PRIMEZONE) -- Dungeon Rock, a towering black rock among the waters of the Monadnock River, is a formidable-looking structure that has intrigued and intimidated Colton and his friends for years. As they attempt to win a kayak race in the river, strange things happen. Is the legend of Dungeon Rock coming true? In her new book, Dungeon Rock (now available through 1stBooks), M.A. Porter tells the suspenseful tale of the friends who uncover the mystery in the foothills of Mt. Monadnock.
Colton, a 14-year-old looking for fun at his summer camp, while his parents vacation in Europe, hangs out with twins Jonathan and Betsy Jones and A.J., a boy fighting a rare blood disease. The four kids start off on a kayak race, but soon find themselves in mortal danger. Weaving in and out of underwater caverns, they lose their grip on A.J., and he disappears under the water. Dr. Marianne, A.J.'s mother and the camp's doctor, dives down. Frantic, she rises to the surface to find A.J. safely sitting on the side of the water.
What pulled him from the depths of the water? What did Jonathan and Betsy see with a flashy, green tail and big, black eyes? Could it have anything to do with the ominous rock that sits mightily above them?
A story of sacrifice, giving and the importance of friendship and family, Dungeon Rock is a heartwarming and suspenseful story for all ages.
Porter spent her childhood summers near Mt. Monadnock in southern New Hampshire. Dungeon Rock is her first book.
