Description
Is Jack’s shadow a superpower that he needs to control and master? Or is it a curse that will separate him from others? Travel with Jack on his boyhood journey as he learns not only how to control his magical shadow but what it means to be different—a story that mines the potential for magic and mystery in all of us.
Advance Praise
"The Curious Chronicles of Jack Bokimble is a little like it's hero's shadow: so unique it has its own scent—a potent mix of cloud vapor, titanium, Mallomars and a spark of something I've never heard before. All I'm sure of is... I loved it.” —Ethan Hawke
"If Roald Dahl and Wes Anderson had a baby, the result would be this book. Touching and sentimental but also weird and wacky and very original, DeMonaco’s book will have adults laughing as much as kids. Anyone who ever felt different, unpopular, weird, will relate to Jack’s journey as he grows to accept what makes him so special." —John Leguizamo
"Jack Bokimble and his shadow are charming. The only thing this book is missing is an accompanying flashlight for each of us to practice our shadow casting." —Jason Blum
