Verified Purchase

The story opens allowing the reader an insight to the character of Will, and his fearful temperament. I like the way the story shows the personality of the character by his response to the sound of the train he views as ghostly. You can immediately begin to understand the boy.

The talk with his teacher reveals the depth of Will's preoccupation with things that bother him or cause him fear. He has a long list of things that cause him fear. Most things cause him fear. He was vividly aware of when the trains came and went. He knew the schedule of trains for the day, week and even the season with their times of passing numbers.

The discussion between Will and his teacher concluded as they agreed to think about the fears and try to find a way to deal with them and continue talking another day.

Their talks reveal more than the fears the boy lived with. They show that even with this withdrawn and odd fearful nature he was intelligent and had a love of reading. As I read the book it gave insight into the caring and concerned nature of the teacher trying to find a way to help Will.

The pace of the story increases as Will meet the mysterious man in the woods. Who and what this stranger really is and what he intends to be for Will is a mystery.

The author describes this as a first installment of a series, but it is also a complete and enjoyable story of it own providing ongoing interest to know more and learn what is to come for Will.
