About the Book

Description

If you gave a thousand immortal monkeys armed with kitchen blenders all the literary works of Roald Dahl, R. L. Stine, and Plato, what would they produce?

No, not Shakespeare – not in a trillion years. But with enough time maybe you'd get The Purloined Boy.

The Purloined Boy is about a lanky twelve year old named Trevor Upjohn. He was stolen by a bogeyman right out his bed when he was just a wee lad. But that's not what makes him special. What makes him special is he knows he was stolen. More than that – he wants to go home again.

His care-givers, the Guardians, won't hear of it. Worse, the bogeymen have other plans for him – plans too awful to even mention here.

Fortunately for our hero the Venerable Guild of the Sun Eaters is working to save him. Even better, a talking mouse named Zephyr comes to Trevor's aid and promises to take him home, but with one proviso!
