| Summary: | "Timothy B. Quibble's grandpa has a saying: The best way to deal with bullies is to wump 'em. But Timothy wouldn't hurt a fly. So even though he's facing bullies at school, on the bus, and at home (even the family dog doesn't like him), Timothy just keeps his head down. But his shadow has other ideas. Timothy's shadow suddenly starts moving on its own, growing and feeding on Timothy's darkest thoughts and manifesting into a shadowy creature known as the Wump. At first, Timothy loves the newfound confidence the Wump gives him to finally stand up for himself... but how far is too far? The award-winning author-illustrator Tony DiTerlizzi stuns in this creepy, brilliantly illustrated, and poignant reflection of the darkness--and light--inside all of us."--Dust jacket flap.

But how much of himself can Timothy give up before he is completely transformed?
