Publisher's Synopsis
This urban fantasy follows Nathan's recurring encounters with a mysterious creature in a steam-filled alley. When his friend Shea gets involved, Nathan must choose between fear and compassion, discovering that sometimes the scariest-looking things need help the most.
With echoes of Katherine Paterson's "Bridge to Terabithia" and Louis Sachar's "Holes", this tale weaves together themes of friendship, prejudice, and the power of giving. A middle-grade adventure that proves monsters aren't always what they seem.
Perfect for fans of Roald Dahl's "The BFG" and Neil Gaiman's "Coraline",
