Description

Carry Me Down tells the story of John Egan, a 12-year-old boy trapped in a grown man's body. With an obsession for the Guinness Book of Records and a keen eye for detecting lies, John navigates the challenges of adolescence with unorthodox determination.

As he faces the difficulties of his home life, including the breakdown of his family relationships, John's grip on reality begins to slip. This poignant coming-of-age tale explores the complexities of childhood, identity, and the fragile boundaries between sanity and madness.

This powerful novel is a moving portrayal of one boy's struggle to find his place in the world, and the devastating consequences that can result when the truth is too difficult to bear.
