One summer became the adventure of a lifetime.
Summer, 1982. When two local teens go missing from the riverside town of Calico, Oregon, a middle school nerd steeped in wild conspiracy theories steps in to investigate.
With a posse consisting of a busboy, a delinquent, an LA transplant, and a cheerleader, A.J. sets out to prove that a Satanic cult is behind the disappearances, all while dodging the local sheriff, high school bullies, and a deputy drunk on authority.
But instead of a dark cult, the group encounters a legion of ghosts, mysterious government agents, alien technology, and an interdimensional crisis of literally Earth-shattering proportions.
From the author of the Airship Daedalus pulp-adventure book series, and adapted from his short story, comes a love letter to retro-'80s science fiction and horror, in the vein of Stranger Things and The Babysitter. Equal parts John Hughes, Stephen King, and Steven Spielberg, Calico Kids is a coming-of-age story set in a rural town, full of impossible adventures.

Reminiscent of the 'kids on bikes' adventure movies I grew up on, Todd has crafted a light and delightful tale of exploration, adventure and a bit of coming of age shared by a group of unlikely friends, and then ramped it up a bit to get a fantastic story that is charming and entertaining.
As fun as it was being a kid...

Downing's narration really fits the bill here, capturing the nuances of his written words and amplifying the suspenseful portions of the book.
While appealing to the nostalgia, it also delivers a great story about friends as family from start to finish.
