Christopher is seven years old.
Christopher is the new kid in town.
Christopher has an imaginary friend.

We can swallow our fear or let our fear swallow us.

Single mother Kate Reese is on the run. Determined to improve life for her and her son, Christopher, she flees an abusive relationship in the middle of the night with her child. Together, they find themselves drawn to the tight-knit community of Mill Grove, Pennsylvania. It's as far off the beaten track as they can get. Just one highway in, one highway out.

At first, it seems like the perfect place to finally settle down. Then Christopher vanishes. For six long days, no one can find him. Until Christopher emerges from the woods at the edge of town, unharmed but not unchanged. He returns with a voice in his head only he can hear, with a mission only he can complete: Build a treehouse in the woods by Christmas, or his mother and everyone in the town will never be the same again.

Twenty years ago, Stephen Chbosky's The Perks of Being a Wallflower made readers everywhere feel infinite. Now, Chbosky has returned with an epic work of literary horror, years in the making, whose grand scale and rich emotion redefine the genre. Read it with the lights on.
I had this book on my TBR list for so long and decided to finial take a chance when I came across a audiobook. It seemed less intimidating tackling this book that way. It was one of my anticipated reads then I saw the amount of pages that are in this and was iffy about it. The synopsis dosent give much up and I was curious what this book would contain and whew was this a trippy ride. There was so much to get through in this book when things seemed to chill clearly there was more to come. Nothing was as it seemed and I can defiantly say I really loved this. I kinda wish I waited till October to read this but I'm definitely glad I did. Maybe I'll see about a reread then because this book has so much to offer I'm sure there's a detail or two I missed and will enjoy this book just as much. I love a good trippy read like this and defiantly recommend. Don't let the amount of pages intimidate you if you like a spooky read its defiantly worth it. Highly recommend.
