Summary:
Step through the door to Lost Pages and escape a life you never wanted...
On her tenth birthday, Aydee runs away from home and from her neglectful parents. At first, surviving alone on the streets is harsh, but a series of frightening, bewildering encounters with strange primordial creatures leads her to a bookshop called Lost Pages, where she steps into a fantastic, sometimes dangerous, but exciting life. Aydee grows up at the reality-hopping Lost Pages, which seems to attract a clientele that is either eccentric or desperate. She is repeatedly drawn into an eternal war between enigmatic gods and monsters, until the day she is confronted by her worst nightmare: herself.

On the table, there was a spread of breads, fruit and cheeses, on which Lucas and Aydee nibbled while Lucas recounted his story. There were large bowls of dog food and water on the floor. Aydee couldn't keep track of the number of dogs that came in and out of the kitchen to eat, drink, or get their heads scratched.

This sounds like a book I would totally love. P.S. going to follow!
ReplyDeleteP.P.S. My 56 this week is "Love in a Nutshell" by Janet Evanovich and Dorien Kelly. it's not half so interesting as yours sounds :)
Oh, now I am fascinated....and eager to find out more. Thanks for sharing, and here's mine: “THE IDEA OF LOVE”
ReplyDeleteThere is an obvious love for dogs and cats.
ReplyDeleteThe last line is a cliffhanger. Why is she her worse nightmare? I've written this title down.
ReplyDeleteI really like how the author sets the tone for the scene, more than anything though, the book cover is appealing! My Friday 56
ReplyDeleteSounds like a fascinating bookshop! I like the fact that dogs can come and go for snacks.
ReplyDeleteMy Friday post features SOMETHING ABOUT MAUDY.
The cover is brilliant and it sounds really interesting. :)
