內容簡介
《壁花男孩》暢銷作家 史蒂芬．切波斯基 驚悚文學新作
Christopher今年七歲，他是鎮上新搬來的孩子，他有一個幻想出來的朋友。
Kate Reese為了逃離有施暴傾向的伴侶，帶著兒子Christopher連夜逃走，他們找到了一個小鎮，這個地方離開和進來都只有一條高速公路，遠離他們熟悉的任何一個區域，這裡是他們理想的重生之地。
直到Christopher突然消失。
六天後，他出現在小鎮邊陲的樹林邊，這六天內沒有人知道他去了哪裡，Christopher自己也不記得，而且雖然毫髮無傷，但卻聲稱他聽到了一個只有自己才能聽見的聲音。
這個聲音指派了一個任務給Christopher，也就是在聖誕節前要在樹林裡蓋一間樹屋，否則母親Kate和其他人可能就不會像往常一樣了。
以《壁花男孩》聞名文壇的史蒂芬‧切波斯基以截然不同的類型回歸，劇情卻一樣讓人難忘，展現他無庸置疑的寫作能力！
We can swallow our fear or let our fear swallow us.
Single mother Kate Reese is on the run. Determined to improve life for her and her son, she flees an abusive relationship in the middle of the night with Christopher at her side. Together, they find themselves drawn to the tight-knit community of Mill Grove, Pennsylvania. It's as far off the beaten track as they can get. Just one highway in, one highway out.
At first, it seems like the perfect place to finally settle down. Then Christopher vanishes. For six awful days, no one can find him. Until Christopher emerges from the woods at the edge of town, unharmed but not unchanged. He returns with a voice in his head only he can hear, with a mission only he can complete: Build a tree house in the woods by Christmas, or his mother and everyone in the town will never be the same again.
Soon Kate and Christopher find themselves in the fight of their lives, caught in the middle of a war playing out between good and evil, with their small town as the battleground.
