Growing up has always been difficult. It''''s even worse when you have to do it all in one night. On the eve of his thirteenth birthday, Ty awakes to find himself in a dreamworld, one-so he is told-that exists to pit him against his greatest fears and insecurities. And to ready him for a final choice. Luckily, Ty is not without friends. He soon meets Gentry, a wooden puppet his grandfather made for him years ago, walking and talking, ready to help Ty learn what he needs to return home in one piece. But that won''''t be easy when a cruel and abnormally tall skeleton dressed in mockery of Santa Claus and his suit hates Ty''''s guts. San wants nothing more than to best Ty and do what none of his kind has ever done before: defeat a child that has made "the choice." But Ty will stop at nothing to fight back against everything San''''s got in order to face his fears and grow up. Because, if he doesn''''t, he will end up a kid forever. Or, worse...never wake up again.
