The book takes place in the town of Derry, Maine. A mysterious monster, known as It, lurks under the town. Many children are killed by it. The killings occur once every thirty years but the monster is never found because adults can not see it.
However, in 1955, a group of children meet the monster, which usually takes the form of a clown and calls itself Pennywise. The children finally defeat the creature but do not destroy It. Thirty years later, when the children have grown up, It returns for vengeance.
