About This Book

Five-year-old Jack has known only Room all his life—the eleven-by-eleven space where he and his mother are held captive. Told entirely from Jack's perspective, Emma Donoghue's Booker-shortlisted novel is an extraordinary account of love, captivity, and the terrifying freedom of the outside world.
