Theresa Shepherd's best friend, Calvin, is sick and acting very strange, hiding in his darkened bedroom and claiming his mother is a monster. Theresa is tempted to think Calvin is just being weird, but, now that time traveler Jules Verne lives across the street from her, Theresa knows better than to look the other way when something strange happens. Calvin's sickness seems tied to a puzzle box he found, a puzzle box that Jules Verne says was once owned by the poet Samuel Taylor Coleridge, a puzzle box that she is convinced is a prison for a demon from another world. And now the demon is loose.
