Best Experience Possible

We want to give you the best experience possible while reading this magnificently-written story. To enhance what you learn from and comprehend in the book, we want to tell you about an offer you simply can't refuse!

Truck

For only $9.95 (plus s+h) you can have an exact toy replica of the brown truck Donoghue based the one Old Nick drove off of in Room.

Free Map

Plus, you can have a free map of all the area Jack had been in Outside, starting with a bird's-eye-view map of Room, and you'll discover exactly how the police were able to track down Room even when Jack himself had no clue where it could've been; he'd been inside his whole life.

Free Tickets

And, as an added bonus, we'll give you FREE tickets to go see the Room exhibit in the Cincinnati's Children's Museum, with all the same objects as mentioned in the story inside. You can go and see how you compare to the size of that room, and imagine yourself in Jack's or Ma's shoes. Once-in-a-lifetime experience, folks!

 

This idea comes from the basic idea of Room, and I’ll get the information to create the exhibit from the parts in the book where Jack explains where everything is and what it looks like (he’s very descriptive).  The truck comes from the part in the story where Ma is telling Jack how she got kidnapped by Old Nick in his brown truck, ““This man ran up asking for help, his dog was having a fit and he thought it might be dying.”  “What’s it called?” [Jack] “No, the dog was just a trick to get me into his pickup truck, Old Nick’s truck.”  “What color is it?” [Jack] “The truck?  Brown, he’s still got the same one, he’s always griping about it.”” (page 93) and the map comes from the places in the story where Jack tells about the turns and twists he felt while wrapped in the rug in the back of Old Nick's truck; this tells you where Room is on the map based on direction: like if he says "I was swayed to the right" you would put that down as a left turn, and if it says "I was thrown to the front of the truck" you would put that down as a stop, and so on. 

This will totally get the reader's attention because they can mark out the twists and turns with a pen/pencil on their own map to find out which house with shed contains Room and they can personally be the reason Ma is saved from it!  They will be able to participate in the book, and turn an ordinary house in a neighborhood into the one where Ma is rescued, Room is found, and Old Nick rescued. (SPOILER ALERT)

I am encouraging readers to stay intent on the story, because they have to follow the story to complete the map and save Ma!  It's as if they're just as important to the story as the characters are which I believe will keep them interested and on the edge of their seat.

This is an example of the map used, and they could mark off places the home couldn't be, and so on! :)  It would be tons of fun and exciting to find out which one is his!  We'll have a website to show you whether you're right or wrong, and also an electronic map you can use the same way as a paper one to mark possibilities for Old Nick's house.
