<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"They say monsters are not born but created, and such is the case for young Ben. To the kids at school, Ben is known as "retard." Eleven years old, he is tall and overweight, with blond hair and blue eyes, unwilling or unable to fight back. Every day at school is a battle. Between the constant teasing and lack of protection from teachers, Ben feels completely alone, and his home life with abusive parents is no better. For the most part, despite his difficulties, Ben is a happy child until one night when his innocence is ripped away like the devil stealing a soul. While listening to his drug-addicted parents argue upstairs, Ben begins to fear for his own life--but this night is different. This is the night a monster is born, accidentally created, and Ben's small town best prepare for blood."--Back cover.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Ben was just a young boy living in a small town; but, already had a life that was less then perfect. Just a normal boy that wanted to play and be happy; however, he could never find that sanctuary. Between the constant teasing, the lack of compassion, or the lack of protection from teachers -Ben was all alone in school. Home was just as isolated with his abusive and drug addicted parents that offered nothing but neglect. He was always alone. Until one specific night, when what remained of that little boy's innocence was ripped from him. Like the devil stealing a soul. Laying in bed one evening, he could hear his parents fighting upstairs. He hated it when this happened because he always feared that one of these times his father would kill his mother, and than come for him. He would just lay there, sinking into the mattress as deep as possible. Eventually the screaming and fighting stopped, and it went silent long enough for him to fall asleep. But this night was different. It was the night that changed everything. The night where a little innocent boy was lost for good, and, a monster was accidentally created.
