When I was first introduced to this book, I didn’t think I’d like it as much as I did when I actually read it. The whole plot and the characters were quite unique. The story starts out with introducing the main character, Jacob (Jake) Portman who was a kid who was socially inept. When Jake’s grandfather mysteriously dies from what Jake thinks was a monster, he ends up going on an adventure to find out the truth about his grandfather’s past. He finds out that his grandfather was involved with strange things, stranger than he thought.
