Despite the fact that heβs an adult, they struck up an immediate friendship, and began making up stories together β stories in which Tom is a great hero, and Polly is his assistant. The trouble is, these scary adventures have a nasty habit of coming trueβ¦ But what has happened in the years between?Why has Tom been erased from Pollyβs mind, and from the rest of the world as well? Gradually Polly uncovers the awful truth and, at Halloween nine years on, realises that Tomβs soul is forfeit to demonic powers unless she can save him.
