The Room

This book is told from the point of view of five year-old Jack, who has lived in a room and slept in a wardrobe his entire life. "Old Nick" is what Jack calls the man that comes in every night and "creaks the bed". Jack's mom is twenty-six years-old. She has been in the room before Jack was born. Her teeth are rotten, she is sick, and she is tired of the room. Her biggest plan is to escape from the room. So she tries to escape. They have "Screaming Exercises" where they scream at the sky light. Jack finds it fun, but he doesn't know that his mom is doing it to get someone's attention. Seem like a good book so far? I recommend you read it.

  1. Sounds sad, but the kind of book that forces you to keep turning the pages! I'll have to add it to my list.
