It's
the summer of 1963, and something strange is afoot in the quiet town of
Farro, Iowa. The school district's most notorious bully has gone
missing without a trace, and furthermore, seventh grader Henry Nilsson
and his friends have just found an odd book stashed in the woods by
Longbelly Gulch---a moldy instruction guide written to teach the art of
"subtle travel," a kind of out-of-body experience. The foursome will
soon discover that out-of-body life isn't so subtle after all---there
are some very real, and very dangerous, things happening out there in
the woods. The science fiction inventiveness of Madeleine L'Engle meets
the social commentary of Gary Schmidt in this thrilling tale of missing
persons, first crushes, embarrassing pajamas, and thought-provoking
dilemmas.
