{"product_id":"9781841958781","title":"Carry Me Down","description":"John Egan is a misfit — \"a twelve year old in the body of a grown man with the voice of a giant\" — who diligently keeps a \"log of lies.\" John's been able to detect lies for as long as he can remember, it's a source of power but also great consternation for a boy so young. With an obsession for the \u003ci\u003eGuinness Book of Records\u003c\/i\u003e, a keenly inquisitive mind, and a kind of faith, John remains hopeful despite the unfavorable cards life deals him.\u003cbr\u003eThis is one year in a boy's life. On the cusp of adolescence, from his changing voice and body, through to his parents’ difficult travails and the near collapse of his sanity, John is like a tuning fork sensitive to the vibrations within himself and the trouble that this creates for he and his family.\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eCarry Me Down\u003c\/i\u003e is a restrained, emotionally taut, and sometimes outrageously funny portrait whose drama drives toward, but narrowly averts, an unthinkable disaster.","brand":"Canongate Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47057910431984,"sku":"9781841958781","price":13.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781841958781_p0.jpg?v=1763779671","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781841958781","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
