Many discovered this title through NPR. They listed it as one of the weird and wonderful books of 2010. Author, Shane Jones, creates a Fantasia-like universe and though it is absolutely bonkers, you'll quickly buy into it.
"Light Boxes", is the story of a town that is perpetually plagued by February. The sun is becoming nothing more than a faint memory.
As winter drags on, children begin to go missing and adults fall into depression. Sounds dismal, right? Well, it doesn't take long for them to rally and go to war against February.
The book is beautifully written. A perfect blend of fantasy and reality. A small book, but a fantastic adventure. Enjoy it over a cup of coffee on a snowy day this coming winter.
Another book that looks super interesting! At least this one is short. I'm always looking for a good short book to ready in between the tomes that I often end up reading.
