It wants the truth.
Something terrible and dangerous.
And it wants something from Conor.
And wild.
It\'s ancient.
The Monster in his backyard is different.
But it isn\'t the Monster Conor\'s been expecting - he\'s been expecting the one from his nightmare, the nightmare he\'s had nearly every night since his mother started her treatments.
At seven minutes past midnight, thirteen-year-old Conor wakes to find a Monster outside his bedroom window.
