Summary
"Some would say River Rydell is a "chosen one." Born with the ability to see monsters and travel to a terrifying spirit world called The Otherwoods, they have all the makings of a hero. But River just considers themself unlucky. After all, it's not like anyone actually believes River can do these things -- or that anyone even believes monsters exist. So the way River sees it, best to keep their head down and ignore anything Otherwoods related. But The Otherwoods won't be ignored any longer. When River's friend (and crush) Avery is kidnapped and dragged into The Otherwoods by monsters, River has no choice but to confront the world they've seen only in their nightmares -- but reality turns out to be more horrifying than they could have ever imagined. With just their cat for protection and a wayward teen spirit as their guide, River must face the monsters of The Otherwoods and their own fears to save Avery and become the hero they were (unfortunately) destined to be." --
