The Book of Lost Things by John Connolly - Starting June 3rd 2019

[Rachel]

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.

(view spoiler)[ David is having one hell of an adventure, from the kind woodsman, wicked wolves and Loups, the huntress and her ugly creatures, Snow white and the 7 dwarfs (my favorite), Roland, the village, the Beast and the Enchantress. David is already a hero!.
Not to forget the on and off appearance of the crooked man! (hide spoiler)]
