Opis

In this unique young-adult novel, Henry, a sarcastic, highly-imaginative boy is taken to spend the weekend with his eccentric, frightening, and blind Grandfather, Julian. Unknown to Henry, the purpose for this forced weekend is for Julian to prepare the boy for a life of blindness, an irreversible genetic condition that has been in their family for generations. Henry has this condition, though it has yet to take effect. In the process, Henry will uncover a hidden family legacy and attempt to escape from Pangari, a mysterious villain who has pursued his ancestors for centuries. Julian leads Henry to understanding and acceptance by inspiring him to embark on a haunting adventure that takes place in the wilderness surrounding Julian's heirloom house. The novel follows Henry through an unknown world he finds in the woods, filled with spellbinding curiosities and an impending darkness that will irrevocably change him.
