The author does a fantastic job at setting the atmosphere and making you see the world through the eyes of a child. Suddenly the island is so big and the forest is so dark and you feel so helpless and even though you know what "the beast" is the descriptions of how they perceive it and convince themselves of what it is are chilling.
