"There are little creatures that roam the woods in the little town of Summitville. They live near Lake Overtree. Mark is a new student at the school and picked on by the bullies. It takes some time for people to notice the changes that are taking place in Mark. He loses weight; he gains muscle and strength; all his dreams seem to be coming true. He even gets the girl he has had his eyes on. The bullies that have been after Mark start to disappear. Anyone that might do harm or upset Mark is in danger. The creatures of the forest need him. "
