Midnight Wonders
For Luc, life began seven years ago. He can't remember why, but there's no time to worry about that. Not when he's wrangling third-graders and taking care of his sister, Cora, who has spent the last four years fighting perpetual lethargy. His life is as mundane as he can make it.
Still, Luc finds himself spending his sleepless nights inexplicably drawn to the green hills by his home, where strange trees bear fruit out of season and a mysterious man wanders in wait. And, if Luc can believe it, a door opens into a hill.
He'll have to believe it when Cora disappears into the hill. After following the mysterious man inside, Luc discovers a world where children turn into chickens, and a never-ending cycle seeks its next sacrifice: Cora.
