About The Book of Lost Things by John Connolly

After his mother’s death, twelve-year-old David is angry and alone, turning to the books in his attic bedroom for company. When their whispers draw him into a land that mirrors his own in strange ways, the boundary between reality and fantasy begins to blur. There, heroes and monsters live under the rule of a faded king who guards a mysterious book.

John Connolly’s dark fantasy novel explores grief, loss, loyalty, love, and the passage from childhood toward adulthood. Its focus on the solace and redemptive power of stories may appeal to readers drawn to imaginative fiction about growing up and confronting change.
