The Adventures of Rilo Fox: Rilo and the Box

By C. D. Pritchard

Author: C.D. Pritchard

Rilo Fox was expecting a quiet weekend at his grandparents' farmhouse, but the basement held a secret that had been waiting for his curiosity to find it. Tucked away on a high, dusty shelf sits an old wooden box. To most, it is just a collection of faded photos and letters from a life well lived. But Rilo feels a pull toward it that some of the adults in his life seem to miss.

When Rilo opens the brass clasps, the world doesn't just change: his perception of it shatters. In a moment of pure wonder, Rilo finds himself pulled through a portal of light and impossible speed, landing in a sun-drenched woods before a run-down house. There, he meets a boy who looks just like him, but from another time. While some see only memories in the box, Rilo discovers that reality depends entirely on who is looking.

If your family enjoys the atmospheric mystery of Chris Van Allsburg or the enduring, soulful heart of C.S. Lewis, then Rilo and the Box belongs on your shelf. C.D. Pritchard weaves a story that captures the same sense of wonder found in The Chronicles of Narnia while exploring the thin line between a child's imagination and the mysteries of the past. This is a story for readers who believe that the most extraordinary truths are hidden in plain sight, waiting for the right person to look inside.
