📝 Description: White Rabbit Society

Brendan Detzner presents a narrative centered on Andrew, a fifteen-year-old boy stranded in Wisconsin after his parents' divorce. He spends his time with Shadow, a creature composed of spare parts who resides beneath a park gazebo and enjoys playing chess. This hidden friendship becomes critical when Andrew's uncle Paul arrives in town. Paul possesses knowledge about the supernatural entity that Andrew keeps secret from others. The story shifts dramatically after a confrontation between Paul and Shadow results in Paul falling into a coma. This event triggers an influx of invisible monsters and draws individuals from across the globe to their small community. Andrew must confront these threats while learning about the concealed world he has entered. The narrative suggests that acquiring this knowledge poses significant danger, as more severe entities lurk beyond his current understanding. This work appeals to readers interested in urban fantasy and coming-of-age stories involving supernatural elements. It suits those who enjoy tales where teenagers navigate hidden magical realities. Readers seeking traditional historical fiction or non-fiction accounts of divorce proceedings may find the content misaligned with their expectations. The plot relies on the tension between ordinary adolescent struggles and extraordinary paranormal threats.
