Come share your thoughts, make new friends, and discover the joy of reading together.

Sixteen-year-old Jacob Portman grew up listening to his grandfather tell him stories of living on an island in a children's home where each child had a supernatural ability of some sort. As he got older, he began to dismiss these as fiction, but still retained his close relationship with his grandfather, who seemed to be getting more senile by the day as he talked of monsters waiting to attack him. One day Grandpa Portman is killed by a mysterious creature in the woods, and Jacob sets out on a mission to uncover the meaning behind his cryptic last words and learn at last about his grandfather's veiled past.
