King uses his horror sci-fi genre to write a beautiful coming of age story about a group of kids who learn to overcome real life monsters, and the monsters in their minds, through friendship and love. The world can be good - even when you're facing an evil monster in the sewers.
"He thinks that it is good to be a child, but it is also good to be a grown up and able to consider the mystery of childhood... its beliefs and desires." "Childhood has its own sweet secrets and confirms mortality, and that mortality defines all courage and love. To think that what was looked forward, must also look back. That each life makes its own imitation of immortality, a wheel." - It by Stephen King
