Read:
Ovo is an orphan boy, who since he was a baby was raised in the sewers of the city of Ponte Queijo by boxtrolls, kind creatures that live on the garbage left by humans. Because boxtrolls are hunted mercilessly by Archibald Snatcher and his gang, they only ever leave underground at night, and even then, every now and then one of them is captured. When Pisces, the boxtroll that created Ovo, is caught, the boy decides to venture into town to rescue him. That's when he meets Winnie, a spoiled girl who makes him realize that he is actually a human.
