Annabelle's world is falling about. Her mother is sick, the class nerd has become a permanent attachment and her friends are treating her as though she has a bad case of head lice. When Leroy tells Annabelle that there's a monster living in the basement furnace at St. Hedwig's Elementary School, Annabelle thinks that Leroy is stark raving mad. But then things begin to disappear. Annabelle's best friend is convinced that a shadow is following her and the bones of a long ago-missing jaintor surface in the cellar. Suddenly Annabelle doesn't think Leroy is crazy anymore.
Annabelle Abigail Andrews was eleven years old and her best friend was her dog, a Yorkshire terrier named Pumpernickel. Annabelle was an only child and people always said how lonely she must be, deprived of a sibling. But the truth of the matter was that Annabelle never had a brother or a sister, so she hardly missed them. Besides, she didn't think it would be much fun to share things, like ice cream, toys and videos. And her parents.
Annabelle Abigail Andrews was a happy girl. She lived in a big colonial house on three acres. She had a spacious bedroom and never shared a bathroom with a living soul. She had pretty clothes, a CD collection, the latest DVDs and her parents gave her a genrous allowlance. Her friends looked up to her and her marks in school were splendid.
Annabelle Abagail Andrews didn't have a care in the world.
Until January 13th, when her life changed forever.
