His uncle helps him overcome his fear of monsters and together they face the ghosts of the area and town which the boys comes to learn are in many ways very close to his uncle's personal experiences, which he can no longer remember. There is also a friend who appears to be bipolar and has manic episodes despite being on medication, so while nothing bad comes off these episodes they could trigger our upset some people.
Overall a good book that talks about really important topics in mental health and life in a tasteful and realistic way I appreciate. It's philosophical and thoughtful get also fairly light and easy to read story that handles historic family tragedy and all works out for the people in current day story
