Annotation

There are endless wonders that let loose Jacks imagination: the snake under Bed that he constructs out of eggshells; the imaginary world projected through the TV; the coziness of Wardrobe, where Ma tucks him in safely at night, in case Old Nick comes.Room is home to Jack, but to Ma, its the prison where shes been held since she was nineteenfor seven long years. Through her fierce love for her son, she has created a life for him in that eleven-by-eleven-foot space. But Jacks curiosity is building alongside Mas own desperation, and she knows that Room cannot contain either indefinitely.Told in the inventive, funny and poignant voice of Jack, Room is a celebration of resilienceand a powerful story of a mother and son whose love lets them survive the impossible.
