Adapted from the books, the adventure centers on a trio of adolescent siblings who must save their town from a ravenous ogre.

. Most of it is hidden away from the eyes of humans, tucked into obscure corners or shielded from human eyes by glamours. Still, those with hearts and minds open enough to see what’s in front of them — like our 15-year-old hero Jared — might find in the sleepy town of Henson, Michigan, a veritable haven of otherworldly life.
