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.

I had high expectations for this book that unfortunately, were not met. This book was really long for no reason, and the plot twist became really weird. Of course, I was 400 pages deep and I felt like I might as well finish it if I spent that much time on it already (a reading habit I need to break, I know).
It took a turn I wasn't expecting, and instead of it creeping me out like how the first few chapters did, it just felt comical.
This book really captured me at the start but started losing me halfway in. By 3/4 I was ready for it to hurry up and be over. The religious themes were too strong
El libro se desarrolla muy bien pero encuanto entra x tema ya va en picado, vaya decepción de final
