Book of the Baku

Sean hasn’t been able to speak a word since he was put into care, and is sent to live with his grandad, a retired author whom he has never met before. Suddenly living an affluent life, nothing like the world of the estate he grew up in, Sean spends his time drawing and sculpting. But his grandad has secrets of his own in his past. Sean finds one of his stories about ‘The Baku’, a creature that eats the fears of children. Plagued by nightmares, with darkness spreading through the house, Sean must finally face the truth if he’s to have a chance to free himself and his grandfather from the grip of the Baku.
