Jack is five and, like any little boy, excited at the prospect of presents and cake. He's looking forward to telling his friends it's his birthday, too. But although Jack is a normal child in many ways -- loving, funny, bright, full of energy and questions -- his upbringing is far from ordinary: Jack's entire life has been spent in a single room that measures just 11 feet by 11 feet; as far as he's concerned, Room is the entire world. He shares this world with his mother, with Plant, and tiny Mouse (though Ma isn't a fan and throws a book at Mouse when she sees him). There's TV too, of course -- and the cartoon characters he thinks of as his friends -- but Jack knows that nothing else he sees on the screen is real. Old Nick, on the other hand, is all too real, but only visits at night -- like a bat -- when Jack is meant to be asleep and hidden safely in Wardrobe. And only Old Nick has the code to Door, which is otherwise locked . . .
Told in Jack's voice, Room is the story of a mother's love for her son, and of a young boy's innocence. Unsentimental yet affecting, devastating yet uplifting, it promises to be the most talked about novel of 2010.
