The Mostly True Story of Jack by Kelly Barnhill
5.0
Sometimes you read a book at just the right time, in just the right mood, and it reaches in and touches a place inside of you. "The Mostly True Story of Jack" was that kind of book to me.
The plot is complex and rich, while the language is beautiful. The story begs you to internalize it, while you are filled with the desire to read as fast as possible.
While this remains at it's center a children's book, I would caution against introducing it to young readers. It would be most appreciated by older children, teens, and adults.
