ROOM

ROOM is Jack’s world.  It is an 11 x 11 square foot sound-proof room with no windows but a skylight that has been crafted to be completely escape-proof. Five year-old Jack lives in ROOM with Ma.  It’s the only world he’s ever known.  When their captor visits at night, Jack slips into the wardrobe.  Ma endures. To hear about this “life” in ROOM from Jack’s narration, you must pick up this book.  His voice, perception and story are haunting, and the effects, lasting. ROOM will change you – the way you see things: people, sunlight, grass, trees, groceries, even your own family. Here’s a special website, designed for ROOM: http://www.roomthebook.com/ Take a look at ROOM.  You’ll never forget it. And join us on March 24th to discuss ROOM with author Emma Donoghue at: http://www.gothamnetworking.com/goth/index.php/books/.
