This is the story of Jack and his "Ma," a 26 year old woman who has been held captive with her son in an 11 x 11 foot square room for seven years. They have the basic comforts of home except for their freedom. This was an interesting premise and it did not disappoint. I read it inside of two days. The story is told entirely in the point of view of Jack, so it reads like it was written by a five year old and it does take some getting used to, but it is well worth it. I loved this book and the characters and I was sorry that the book had to come to an end!
