Haha! Well i always figured the book was set in California anyhow... But if the book-Jenner were anything like the movie-Jenner, it figures he'd go and name a town after himself XD

Man, that's crazy. I want to go live there now!

It's funny...there's a place not far from me called Jennerstown. Never been there, but I used to pass the exit sign for it all the time.

Actually... and I'm not sure where I found this out, but I believe the story is actually set on the east coast, near or in Virginia. That's also supposedly where Robert C. O'Brien (which isn't his real name, btw) was when writing the book.

O'Brien did live in Virginia and West Virginia for a time, and i think lived on the East Coast his whole life (including Amityville NY, haha!) So it's entirely possible the story was set there, though in all my reading about him i've never read anything directly from O'Brien himself that specifies the location. Something about the descriptions of Thorn Valley in particular remind of California, but i think one of the (many) great things about the book is the mystery. All the things O'Brien leaves unspecified or unresolved, readers can fill in on their own...so i guess it can take place wherever you want it to :)
