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. Man, I wish I could move things with my shadow – what would be cooler than that?
