Once upon a time, a class of six-year-olds heads into the forest for a camping trip. The innocent children play games where they imagine monsters everywhere: the creaking of trees becomes a growl, the tree trunk becomes an ogre.
But this fairy tale doesn?t have a happy ending. Monsters really do exist: accidents, illness, the murderous impulses of a classmate. One by one, ?happily ever after? evaporates for the children and their chaperones, as, one by one, like all nature?s creatures, they must learn the laws of the skies.
