FROM SARAH:
Ever wonder what it would have been like to be friends with C. S. Lewis? This beautiful middle grade novel is the tale of two friends who come from entirely different backgrounds and experiences, but connect deeply through imagination and storytelling. The slow, thoughtful plot is perfect for kids eight and up, but sensitive readers should know it does contain the death of a parent.
FROM THE PUBLISHER:
A fictionalized exploration of the childhood of C.S. Lewis.
Davy, a working-class boy living in East Belfast in 1908, is sent to work at the wealthy Lewis household. When he meets Jacks – the name by which CS Lewis was known to friends and family – Davy is captivated by his friend’s world of books and stories. Together the boys plunge into imagining and adventuring, and Davy discovers his own artistic talent. But when Davy is offered a job at the shipyard, and Jacks’s mother falls gravely ill, their wondrous days of make-believe seem numbered. Will they lose their extraordinary shared world forever?
