Synopsis

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.
