The Lost Causes of Bleak Creak pages 214-324

In the final portion of the book a lot of turns took place.
Rex and Lief met Donna and Janine at the funeral and over heard them talking about Whitewood School.  It was then suggested that all of them should go back to the Creak and try to make the lake go crazy again and the could film it for the new documentary Janine is working on.
When they arrive to the Creak Rex went in to swim to see if he could see anything under the water. It was too dark so they cut his and with a key to make it light up again. This time, Lief decided he wanted to go in, for Alicia. At this point Donna is having a panic attack due to the PTSD of the school. So Lief takes the camera and goes under. The camera is then snatched out of his hand and tried to grab him under as well. Leif's screams made loud notices that echoed all the way to the school. In no time at  all they saw a bright light running roads then through the field. It was Mr.Whitewood. They all realized what was happening an they knew they had to get out of there. Janine's camera shot back out of the water and she went to get it slowing them down a little. As they were all going under the fence to leave, Leif's shirt gets stuck and Mr.Whitewood got him. He would now be attending Whitewood School.
All of the kids want home in shock. The next day Rex's mom came in and told the news about Leif. He was a complete mess. His mom let him stay home from school that day. Ben and Janine come over and they reviewed the footage. They saw what looked like a rock, but it was Alicia's head. Then her eyes opened.
They then go to give more history to Mr.Whitewood. His wife killed herself due to the depression that had kept in due to his daughter having leukemia. Mr.Whitewood heard in a rumor that  the Bleak Creak could heal her. Desperate, he took her there. While they were wading in she stepped in a rock cutting her foot open, activating the water. Before they knew it she was yanked under water. He went under to save her but in attempt to get her out he "drowned'. He realized his body was alive but his soul wasn't. He was then told by the "keeper" if he brought his 7 strong children in 10 years he would give his daughter back, fully healed.He only had given 4 childern in 9 years and 11 months.
Leif in the school decided to rebel along with 2 other kids. J, who had been friends with Alicia and 1 other kid we never get introduced to. They end up throwing Leif in. He went with Alicia.
Rex and his group went on a mission to save them. He was too late to save Lief from being thrown in. They get captured and Whitewood throw's Rex in. And then Ben. They Manage to get Leif and Alicia's bodies out making them come instantly back to life.
In attempt to escape, J and Ben sacrifice themselves so they can escape. Donna shot Mr.Whitewood and pushed his almost dead body into the creak. The Whitewood school would soon be exposed from everything they've done and shut down.

This book overall was amazing. Very suspenseful and has great details. My only complaint is that it comes be a little hard to follow due to all the plots and characters.
