Tells the story of Owen, a twelve year old boy who is feeling increasingly isolated and alone. Enduring the bitter divorce between his parents, and being the target of relentless bullies at school, the friendless and helpless Owen secretly spends his time entertaining thoughts of revenge against his tormentors.
When a mysterious young girl and her father move into the complex, Owen finds an unlikely friend in Abby. Thereâs something different about Abby⦠she only ever seems to come out in the dark of night. But as the two get to know each other in the building playground, their friendship deepens, affording each of them the unconditional love and acceptance they crave.
When Owen finally learns just exactly what makes Abby so mysterious, their devotion and bond become unbreakable.
