About the book: 2011 / Five-year-old Jack spent his entire life in one room. This room was the whole world for him and a prison for his mother, in which she had been languishing for seven years. Here they played, read books, watched TV. Jack thought that everything he saw on the screen was just a fantasy and that nothing existed outside the room, only endless space. But his mother knew that their abode was a soundproof shed in the backyard of a crazy maniac. She was able to provide her son with full development, but Jack grew, and his curiosity grew along with him. Sooner or later the room would become too small for them. They need to escape from captivity, but their jailer is very cruel and dangerous…
