Synopsis

In Palmer LaRue's hometown of Waymer, turning ten is the biggest event of a young boy’s life. However, for Palmer, his tenth birthday is not something to look forward to—but rather something to dread. Then one day, a visitor appears on his windowsill, and Palmer knows that this, more than anything else, is a sign that his time is up. Somehow, he must learn how to stop being afraid and stand up for what he believes in.
