When two ragamuffins stumble across a book in the dust their world begins to change. The familiar becomes fantastical, the mundane becomes magical, and a fractured community finds a focus. Set in a dreary, underprivileged, contemporary world, "Look, A Book!" is an exhilarating whirl through the magic of imagination that leaves the reader in an vertiginous trance.
