“An extraordinary book. It’s a page-turner, full of mystery, but that’s the least of it. The language is dusted with magic. The Children reminded me of Ray Bradbury at his best.” —Stephen King

The Children is wise to the mythic weight childhood memories gather over time, and the way our most beloved stories grow up with us. It’s for anyone who’s ever revisited an old favorite and found its pages cast in a darker light, the line separating magic from reality blurring as we discover the books that once comforted us carry shadows of their own.

I cannot wait to talk about this book with the Inky Phoenix club! And if you’re in Charleston on June 15th join us Blue Bicycle Books where Signe Pike and I will co-moderate a conversation with Melissa!
