It's Jack's birthday, and he's excited about turning five. Jack lives with his Ma in Room, which has a locked door and a skylight, and measures 11 feet by 11 feet. He loves watching TV, and the cartoon characters he calls friends, but he knows that nothing he sees on screen is truly real - only him, Ma and the things in Room. Until the day Ma admits that there's a world outside.
Well written, very moving story. I loved the beginning, got a bit unsure in the middle, but then the ending was really good. The story being told in the voice of Jack meant that there didn't have to be a lot of background, you discovered their story as Ma explained the world to Jack.
