The book I read for my quarterly book report was a story called "The House Across the Cove". This fiction story was written by a lady that is named Barbara Hall. This story all takes place at a place called Boxwood Cove. The main characters are two people by the name of Tyler Crane, which is a seventeen-year-old male, and Abby Winston, which is sixteen-year-old female.

It all starts, as Tyler is haunted at night by shadows, and dreams of his father. Tyler's father died and now Tyler feel's very lonely. As Tyler tries to sleep at night he keeps seeing mysterious lights across the cove and the lights don't help him sleep at all. Then Tyler meets Abby Winston. Abby is visiting her relatives and she didn't expect to have a very exciting summer. Then she meets Tyler.

Although Abby's aunt and uncle don't she should be spending time with Tyler, Abby and Tyler start to become even closer friends. One day Abby goes over to Tyler's' to hang out with him and his parents told her that he hadn't been home for about twelve hours.
