James DeMonaco Presents The Curious Chronicles of Jack Bokimble and His Peculiar Penumbra, in Conversation with Ethan Hawke

ABOUT JACK BOKIMBLE:

Shortly after Jack is born, strange things are afoot in the Bokimble house–glasses fall from shelves, and nothing seems to be where Mr. and Mrs. Bokimble left it. Jack’s parents begin to sense that there’s something strange about their son, and it’s not long before they realize that he has a secret friend: his magical shadow.

Is Jack’s shadow a superpower that he needs to control and master? Or is it a curse that will separate him from others? Travel with Jack on his boyhood journey as he learns not only how to control his magical shadow but what it means to be different–a story that mines the potential for magic and mystery in all of us.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR:

James DeMonaco, a lifelong New Yorker, is the award-winning screenwriter, director, and producer of the Purge series. DeMonaco also wrote The Negotiator, starring Samuel L. Jackson and Kevin Spacey. He co-authored Feral, a dystopian thriller novel, with Brian Evenson. The Curious Chronicles of Jack Bokimble and His Peculiar Penumbra is his first children’s book.
