High in his attic bedroom, twelve-year-old David mourns the
death of his mother, with only the books on his shelf for
company. But those books have begun to whisper to him in the
darkness. Angry and alone, he takes refuge in his
imagination and soon finds that reality and fantasy have
begun to meld. While his family falls apart around him,
David is violently propelled into a world that is a strange
reflection of his own -- populated by heroes and monsters
and ruled by a faded king who keeps his secrets in a
mysterious book, The Book of Lost Things.
Taking readers on a vivid journey through the loss of
innocence into adulthood and beyond, New York Times
bestselling author John Connolly tells a dark and compelling
tale that reminds us of the enduring power of stories in our
lives.
