On the other side of the wall there is a dark secret. And the devil. And
the Moon Man. And the Motherland doesn't want anyone to know. But
Standish Treadwell, who has different-colored eyes, who "can't read,
can't write, Standish Treadwell isn't bright," sees things differently
than the rest of the "train-track thinkers." So when Standish and his
only friend and neighbor, Hector, make their way to the other side of
the wall, they see what the Motherland has been hiding. And it's big.
