The Abstract Adventures of Jacob Knots 2nd edition: Dive Deep into your Dreams [Large Print]

By Nicholaus C Hutton

Twelve-year-old Jacob Knots doesn't remember his parent's death. Now stuck in a dull orphanage run by a bitter caretaker, Jacob finds fleeting freedom only in the dreams he can't remember-but that doesn't stop the danger from following him when he wakes. Remembering a dark secret, he falls in a coma.

When a terrifying dream encounter with a shadowy monster named Lurid coincides with Jacob's mysterious collapse, he wakes in a strange world called Syze. There, he meets Stix-a sarcastic, twig-bodied elemental with too much to say and a sacred mission of his own. The two form an alliance and set off across enchanted forests and surreal realms of dreams, where imagination shapes reality. But as Jacob learns the true nature of the Abstract, a dreamlike realm shared by children in their sleep, he discovers a chilling truth: Lurid isn't just a nightmare. He's real-and he's hunting not just Jacob, but Lizzy and all his friends from the orphanage.

Told through alternating perspectives and dreamlike sequences, The Abstract Adventures of Jacob Knots blends whimsical storytelling with emotional depth. Themes of trauma, memory, friendship, and hope are delicately woven into each scene, making it a deeply layered adventure that resonates with both young readers and adults alike.

Rich with inventive language, surreal landscapes, and a cast of vivid, endearing characters-including catfolk warriors, broken children with unbreakable spirits and a wise frog-this debut novel is equal to Peter Pan, Alice in Wonderland and The NeverEnding Story, with a modern psychological edge.

This is Book One in a planned series and lays the foundation for an epic journey through worlds seen and unseen-where belief shapes reality, love confronts fear, and even the lost can find their way home, clashing with the bold statement-everyone has a purpose, including you.
