Why It Scared You As A Kid: Poor bullied Matthew only wants one thing- to be allowed to sleep in the family guest room (jeez buddy, dream big). When his mother refuses, he sneaks in for the night. But every morning when he wakes up in that room, his whole world has changed. His family disappear and reappear, he gets older and younger. The idea of waking up in a completely strange place without knowing why is a genuine nightmare for the under-12 set. Why It'll Scare You Now: Because you know it's fiction. Nothing ever changes and no amount of bed switching will make a damn bit of difference. Enjoy the best years of your life, Matthew.
