Life is challenging for twelve-year-old Kyle Daniels. Sure, his best friends, Keira and Matt, have his back, but that doesn't change three simple facts, Kyle is small and weak, his big brother, Doug, treats him like a squeaky toy, and a hideous monster is stalking him in his dreams. There's little that Kyle can do about the first two, but when something supernatural unexpectedly keeps him from dreaming, things start looking up. Then he hears a voice. Kyle soon learns there is a world where dreams are made, a world that every dreamer enters, yet no one knows exists. It is a world of light, but darkness is rising, and a clash between supernatural forces of unbelievable power is coming.And Kyle is the unlikely key to victory. It is a terrifying destiny Kyle does not want, but one he cannot refuse, even though the monster of his dreams, the Grinning Man, is out to stop him, because if he refuses, both that world, and his, will fall to a darkness too frightening to imagine.
