Bright Shining World | Josh Swiller
Wallace Cole's father has some deeply important job with an energy company. They're constantly moving, and Wallace finds the job suspicious. Just as Wallace is getting settled into a comfortable life in Kentucky, his father lets him know they need to immediately depart for a new job in a small town in Upstate New York which has recently been struck by an outbreak of inexplicable hysterics-- an outbreak which is centered at the high school Wallace will attend. Everyone seems to take an instant dislike to Wallace; the student body president seems to be falling for him... and trees appear to be talking to people.
