WAX is a eerie, creepy story of the Grosholtz Candle Factory in Paraffin, Vermont. A seventeen-year-old girl, Poppy Palladino, makes a disturbing discovery in the back room:  dozens life size, realistic wax sculptures, crafted by a very peculiar old lady.

Frightened by this discovery, she rushes away in her car, only to have a wax figured teenage boy jump naked from her trunk! She tries to return him to the factory, but it is destroyed in a mysterious fire.

As she and the wax boy, Dud, try to solve the mystery of the fire, she begins to notice that citizens of the town of Paraffin are looking more and more waxy. Why is behind this? What evil is lurking?

For those who like mysteries and creepy stories, this is a good choice.
