A Booklist Editor's Choice Title for 2023
From acclaimed author and illustrator pair A.F. Harrold and Levi Pinfold comes another powerful and poignant story about friendship, betrayal, and redemption.
Hex doesnât know why he does the things he doesâwhy he sometimes stands up in class to look out the window or ask an unrelated question or do a little dance. He also doesnât know why he threw the rock that day in the woods. He didnât mean for the girl to fall and break her arm. But heâs blamed anyway.
Enraged at how unfair life is, Hex runs into the woods and finds himself in a strange clearingâa clearing that canât possibly existâwhere a strange old woman offers him a deal: sheâll rid the world of those who wronged him. All he has to do is accept and theyâll be forgotten, forever. But what Hex doesnât know is that someone else has been offered the same deal.
When Hexâs best friend Tommo wakes up the next day, something feels wrong. Half-whispered memories tug at his brain, making him think that somethingâor someoneâis missing from his life. Can Tommo put the world back the way it was? Or can he find a way to make a new world that could be better for them all?
This unforgettable story, complete with lush black-and-white illustrations throughout, explores how we can find the strength to face down monsters: in the darkness, in our friends, and in our selves.
