The Guardian

Billy Hollister has a big imagination and a curiosity that won't be denied. Growing up in a poor rural town with loving parents that work hard but have little time to play leads Billy to find his own answer to a secret everyone seems to know but him. His farm home is right across from haunting dark woods, and the great horned owl that sits on a stump in front of the woods seems to want to keep visitors out.

Soon, adventure beckons, and Billy finds himself caught up in the stuff of nightmares. He follows his need to solve the mystery of the scary woods. What Billy finds changes his life forever.
