Adam Gopnik is one of America's most celebrated writers. His memoir, Paris to the Moon, was a New York Times Notable Book and sold nearly a half-million copies. His New Yorker articles reach an audience in the millions. Now he turns his talents to a fantasy novel for children and grownups that is part Madeline, part Matrix -- an intelligent and charming adventure story set in the city Gopnik writes about so magnificently. Oliver Parker is a ten-year-old American boy miserably stuck in Paris. Intimidated by his French school, Oliver longs to return home. Until one January night, wearing a paper crown and looking out the window, he sees an amazing vision -- the reflection of a boy in an ancient French doublet gazing back at him. Oliver's pursuit of the boy leads him to a terrifying secret. He learns he has kingly powers and with no weapons other than his mind, must take on an extraordinary mission . . .
