So if anyone who has read the last post I did about this book, would remember that I left off with the evil worm babysitter possibly liking his father and making his life hell.
So basically "Kyle" (He has no name so I call him that now) is locked in his room and Ursula, the worm, can tell when he's thinking of escaping because they are still connected, him being her portal in a way from the place on Hempstock farm. Anyway, he slips down the drainpipe while thinking something along the lines of "I'm in bed doing nothing suspicious" and runs into the forest as a way to get to the Hempstocks for help. Eventually he's found by Ursula, but also Lettie, who banishes her from the land because they were on the farm and they can do that. Then she brings him to the farmhouse where her Grandmother gets him a clean dry dressing gown (it was raining) and some good dinner. Then since his parents and sister would be arriving soon, her snips out a part of time where "Kyle" had yelled at his father, called Ursula a monster, and got almost drowned in the bath as punishment. This way there was no reason for his dad to be mad at him. She also made it so "Kyle" was sleeping over and they had come because he had forgotten his toothbrush.
The next morning Lettie and "Kyle" go to his house and trap Ursula so Varmints can eat her and clean up the mess. The Varmints are like big birds that eat things into non-existance. There will literally be empty space where nothing is if they are a part of the ground. The Varmints stay however, to eat "Kyle" as well because part of the portal way is deep inside of him and couldn't be taken out. Eventually Lettie ran him to a circle of safety under a tree while she and Gran brought the Ocean to him in a bucket. When she came back he stepped into the bucket and knew everything about everything.When Lettie pulled him out, he was in the pond again, and so was the ocean. It is then explained, after he says he didn't want to come out, that if he had stayed then he would just sort of dissolve into it, and it wouldn't be him.
Soon after the Varmints gather at the edge of the land and start to eat things into nothingness, trying to prompt him out before they eat the whole world. It works, but Lettie throws herself on him to save him. Then Gran wakes up from a nap and orders the Varmints to put everything back where it had been. After all of this, Lettie is about as close to being dead as a Hempstock woman can be. Ginnie and Gran then put her into the ocean where she'll recuperate. It is then found out that every fifteen or so years "Kyle" comes around and visits, seemingly because Lettie wants to see if his life was worth saving.
