520 |a "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. 
520 |a From the co-creator of the #1 New York Times bestselling Spiderwick Chronicles series comes a deliciously dark supernatural middle-grade coming-of-age story, with two-color illustrations throughout. "Terrifyingly terrific."--Jeff Kinney, New York Times bestselling creator of the Diary of a Wimpy Kid series Timothy's grandpa has a saying: the best way to deal with bullies is to wump 'em. But Timothy would never hurt a fly--and not just because he genuinely loves bugs. He's always been a good kid... until a shadowy monster appears and begins feeding on his darkest thoughts. Facing bullies both at home and at school, Timothy cocoons himself in the monster's shadows, where he is consumed by a desire for revenge. But how much of himself can Timothy give up before he is completely transformed? Award-winning author-illustrator Tony DiTerlizzi stuns in this creepy, brilliantly illustrated, and poignant reflection of the darkness--and light--inside of all of us.
