On
the first day of summer vacation, eleven year-old Artie falls into a
lake and begins to drown. While underwater, Artie has a vision of
Elaine, a little girl who died there decades ago in a battle with an
ancient being, a being that is awakening once more. Unless Artie and
his friends can stop the creature called the Winter King from entering our world, it will turn
everything in its path to its dark purposes.
As the kids
struggle with the universal issues of friendship, acceptance, love, and
impending adulthood, they learn that they are not the first to fight
this evil. Armed with two unusual magical items--a pocketknife and a
baseball trophy--and with their bonds of affinity, they will brave the
forbidding woods to face their foe, full in the knowledge that some of them
will not return. |
