This book is really different! It is told from the voice of a five-year-old boy named Jack. It begins on his fifth birthday. Jack doesn't have a party like most five-year-old kids because his life is different. He has spent all five years of his life in one room. His mother has tried to make his life as normal as she can. From Jack's point of view she has been completely successful because he knows no other way of living. His mom does whatever she can to keep Jack's mind stimulated, his body healthy and his heart full of love. Eventually they are able to escape - but there is no way for Jack to escape the consequences of spending his whole life in one room. It is a fascinating book.
