Room

Room by Emma Donoghue




Absolutely chilling. This is told from the perspective of a 5 year old boy whose mother was kidnapped and kept in a 12x12 shed for 7 years. His entire world is in that room--and tv is just pretend. He doesn't understand that the world portrayed on tv exists. His mother eventually "unlies" to him and tells him that there is a world outside of room, and she hatches a plan for their escape. Amazingly well done.
