But, like the rest of the world he's in awe of the Wonders' heroism; they're what's gotten him through his mother remarrying. Well, them and his rabbit Frankie, hanging out with his grandfather Harrison, and spending time with Arthur, a handsome wealthy schoolmate from the county's outskirts. But one day, Charles leaves for college in search of something more. </p><p>Ten years later, he returns home. Having rarely spoken to Arthur or Harrison. And, in less than 24 hours, he's had contact with both-a brief run-in with Arthur, and Harrison has enlisted him to decipher a mysterious book. Charles decides to help, but the dangers that lurk ahead are far beyond his imagination. As he's drawn into the city's dark underbelly, Charles soon makes a series of unnerving discoveries forcing him to make a choice that could alter his life forever. It's a tale of impossible love and tragedy, of fantasy and longing, in a time where being different was celebrated change was still needed.</p>
