Todd lives in the small settlement of the new world, he was told that there were no people anywhere else and that Prentisstown (the small settlement) was the only place that holds a small population. He was also told that all the women in the world were gone, clear out by the spackles (a creature that looks just like a human)which after taking there women have left a dramatic side effect, all the men can hear each others thoughts! After the year of 13 children turn into men. And Todds birthday was just a month away! One day as he was walking down the swamp with his dog. When out came the priest of the town and heart Todd talking about something forbidden. After giving him a couple of hits (because this guy is no average priest) he left Todd there all alone with his dog. Todd later stood up with a big cut in his mouth and headed home. On the way home all of a sudden he heard.....NOTHING! Which in this "new world" was very unusual. Everybody always things. And since Prentisstown was the only place in this new world (or at least he though that) he had nowhere to go far away to escape the noises. He started getting closer and closer to the nothing. As he was approaching, the nothing was getting further away from him! He then realized that it may be a spackle all of a sudden he was filled with rage (since the speckles took his mother away) He started to yell at the nothing and was surprised at how fast he was running after it. As to noise was getting away from his hearing he let go of the rage and returned home. Because his thoughts were to loud people heard what he just saw. When he came home and told his adopted parents Ben and Cillian they were in shock. All of a sudden they started running in around the house and looking for a back bag that they all ready packed in side was his mothers diary (By the way in this creppy cheap town, the Mayer did not allow people to read, even though Bill tried to teach Todd in secret the mayer found out and put Bill in prison for couple of weeks.) He also found out that day that there was another town another then Prentisstown, what a day! after a couple of minutes when he barely gave in, he left. On his way he found a girl! A real life breathing girl who's parents had died in a crash when they landed in the "new world" which was only a day before this. He found out that she was the one which he did not hear today in the swamp! She caused all this mess. After unforgettable events that they went through together she finally said, something which was "Voilet..... that is my name."
