Feeling lost and alone, Noah starts writing letters to Mothman, Lewis’s favorite cryptid, wondering if he would understand how Noah feels.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAt first, Noah isn’t sure whether he actually believes in Mothman—not like Lewis did. But when strange things start to happen around his wooded home, Noah wonders whether there might be something to the stories.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHe decides to make his science fair project about Mothman, despite his teacher’s urging to study something “real.” As Noah’s mind begins to open, so does his world. He makes friends with a group of girls in his grade and finally feels like he belongs.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBut most people are not so accepting, and he has no evidence to prove that Mothman exists. With the science fair looming closer, Noah decides to risk everything, trek into the woods, and find Mothman himself.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“A hauntingly moving examination of grief, friendship, and identity, reminiscent of my favorite classics.
