Twelve-year-old David, tormented by loneliness after the death of his mother, begins to hear the whispers of books. Drawn by what seems to be his late mother’s voice, he stumbles into a mysterious, otherworldly kingdom. There, fairy tale figures are not what they seem—wolves born of Red Riding Hood, a grotesque Snow White, and a twisted man who steals children populate this strange and dangerous land. It is a world of beauty and brutality, where stories come to life with dark intent.

To return home, David must set out on a quest to find the legendary Book of Lost Things. A rich and haunting tale of adventure in a world shaped by the magic and menace of books.
