The Story Behind This Book
As a child I had the unfortunate opportunity to experience the sudden loss of a parent. I know first hand what kind of a trauma this can be and how hard it is for a child to understand and to readjust to the new circumstances. I remember spending a great deal of time out in the woods, trying to lose myself in nature.
I only wish I had had the benefit of a fantasy like Lost in the Woods to help me sort things out in my life.
Praise and Reviews
"Move over Lewis Carroll. Fun London is your newest competition. Lost in the Woods is an adventurous tale of a boy named Jack and his crazy encounters in a strange mysterious land full of talking creatures. From the very beginning, I could not stop reading. I had to know what was going to happen next. This book will keep you on the edge of your recliner with your Kindle in hand. Fun story from start to finish. The best part is, Fun London has written other stories that I can't wait to buy." S.Z., father, teacher, author
"…Fun London does talking animals well. Each creature Jack meets on his journey home had a different, unique voice. And not all of them actually spoke to get their voice across. And not all of them are friendly… But instead of having random enemies, Fun London makes sure that any and all foes have a personal and, more importantly, believable reason why they’re going after Jack. But it’s a forest-wide disaster that brings everyone together, friend and foe alike, in a bid to save their home. And maybe – just…just maybe – Jack learns something about himself along the way… ‘LOST IN THE WOODS’ is a brilliant, old-school fantasy story that will entertain and delight children of all ages." Dave Brett-Andrews, Children’s Author
"This is a witty, heartwarming story about a boy who has lost his way and gets help in an unexpected place. I loved the funny and unique animals and the parts they played in Jack's adventure. There was plenty of action and danger, no blood and guts. The ending is uplifting." Amazon Verified Customer Review
