Twelve-year-old Gordie Lachance and his three friends set out on a quest to find a boy from a nearby town who has disappeared. They search for his body along the railroad tracks during a miserably hot summer and soon learn that monsters are not lurking in their closets, but live in the hearts of people.

Adapted in the 1986 classic film "Stand by Me," The Body is an iconic exploration of friendship, adventure, and an unforgettable coming-of-age story by master storyteller Stephen King.
