{"product_id":"the-book-of-pearl-9780763691264","title":"The Book of Pearl","description":"\u003cb\u003eIn prose as magical and intricate as the tale it tells, Timoth e de Fombelle delivers an unforgettable story of a first love that defines a lifetime.\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eJoshua Pearl comes from a world that we no longer believe in -- a world of fairy tale. He knows that his great love waits for him there, but he is stuck in an unfamiliar time and place -- an old-world marshmallow shop in Paris on the eve of World War II. As his memories begin to fade, Joshua seeks out strange objects: tiny fragments of tales that have already been told, trinkets that might possibly help him prove his own story before his love is lost forever. Sarah Ardizzone and Sam Gordon translate the original French into a work both luminous and layered, enabling Timoth e de Fombelle's modern fairy tale to thrum with magic. Brimming with romance and history, mystery and adventure, this ode to the power of memory, storytelling, and love will ensnare any reader's imagination and every reader's heart.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Candlewick Press (MA)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/06\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780763691264\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 368\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.15lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.30h x 5.60w x 1.30d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/15\/2017 pg. 175\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/01\/2017 pg. 53\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eSchool Library Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eForeword\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/26\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eVoice of Youth Advocates\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/01\/2018 - Recommended - Better Than Most\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBulletin of Ctr for Child Bks\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/01\/2018 - Book Of Special Distinction\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eHorn Book Magazine\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/01\/2018 pg. 83\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eHornbook Guide to Children\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/01\/2018 - Superior,Well Above Average\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Timothee de Fombelle","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43124396523701,"sku":"9780763691264","price":15.29,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_eb085fa0-b967-4dcc-b8ce-f5c4e180616d.jpg?v=1694551220","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/the-book-of-pearl-9780763691264","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
