Jacob's Grandpa Portman is an acentric old man. From the time Jacob is little his Grandpa Portman tells of a children's home he lived in as a young man, a home for peculiar children. Children like Victor, who was so strong he could lift a boulder over his head. Olive who had to wear weighted shoes and a rope tied around her waist to keep from floating away. Millard who was invisible and Horace who had bees that lived inside of him. As Jacob grows older, he begins to believe these stories are just that- stories. Stories made up from the imagination of an old man. But one night, when Jacob is 15, his Grandpa Portman calls him terrified of the monsters that are "after him"- monsters who hunt peculiar children. When his grandpa is found dead, only then does Jacob begin to believe that maybe those stories are not fiction but the truth. The truth- that is now up to him to find out.
