Isaac and the Egg by Bobby Palmer
Synopsis
This is the story of Isaac and the Egg, the most talked-about book of the year. --- Isaac stands alone on a bridge and screams. Something screams back. And that, like everything which follows, is unforgettable.
This is a book about a lot of things - grief, hope, friendship, love. It's also about what you'd do if you stumbled into the woods at dawn, found something extraordinary there, and decided to take it home. It's a tale that might seem familiar. But how it speaks to you will depend on how you've lived until now. Sometimes, to get out of the woods, you have to go into them.
Isaac and the Egg is one of the most hopeful, honest and wildly imaginative novels you will ever read.
