“I loved it," ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????"a-text-bold">From Edgar Award-finalist Jason Rekulak comes a wildly inventive spin on the supernatural thriller, for fans of Stranger Things and Riley Sager, about a woman working as a nanny for a young boy with strange and disturbing secrets,

Mallory Quinn is fresh out of rehab when she takes a job as a babysitter for Ted and Caroline Maxwell, She is to look after their five-year-old son, Teddy,

Mallory immediately loves it, She has her own living space, goes out for nightly runs, and has the stability she craves, And she sincerely bonds with Teddy, a sweet, shy boy who is never without his sketchbook and pencil, His drawings are the usual fare: trees, rabbits, balloons, But one day, he draws something different: a man in a forest, dragging a woman’s lifeless body,

Then, Teddy’s artwork becomes increasingly sinister, and his stick figures quickly evolve into lifelike sketches well beyond the ability of any five-year-old, Mallory begins to wonder if these are glimpses of a long-unsolved murder, perhaps relayed by a supernatural force,

Knowing just how crazy it all sounds, Mallory nevertheless sets out to decipher the images and save Teddy before it’s too late,
