Jacket: "NYT best-selling author John Connolly ... examines the grin side of fairy tales in a spellbinding novel about a 12-year-old boy lost in an extraordinary world.
Mourning the loss of of his mother, David finds comfort in the books she left behind. But soon the make-believe world of the books melds with David's reality, and the figments of his imagination become startlingly real. Suddenly, he finds himself in a brutal land populated by trolls, harpies and werewolf-like creatures. His only hope is to find the king, whose Book of Lost Things could show David the way home.
... The Book of Lost Things is a riveting fantasy and a dark reminder that we all must brave the journey from youth to adulthood."
So I'm listening to this story while at work and I'm getting a little creeped out! I can't remember the last time a story did that to me. This is not your kid's Grimm fairy tale! READ THIS BOOK!
