By Alex Marestaing
Read the EPIC Award-nominated novel that critics are saying is “fresh,” “powerful,” and “unlike anything” they’ve read. In a world full of anxiety, Alex Marestaing’s I’m Nobody: The Lost Pages is a triumphant tale of faith over fear and one that kids and grown-ups of all ages will love. It’s also a London Book Festival Honorable Mention Winner and Epic’s eBook Award finalist.
We’re all broken on this side of heaven, but we can make beautiful things from the pieces.
Agoraphobic Caleb Reed is about to step outside for the first time in seven years, meet indie filmmaker Iris Elliott . . . and definitely not fall in love. It’s all because of the notes, the weird and wonderful notes he keeps finding on his front porch, notes signed by someone claiming to be long dead poet Emily Dickinson. Caleb’s parents think he’s losing his mind, as always, but he knows they’re wrong. Something’s going on outside — something strange, something terrifying . . . something beautiful.

This is one incredible book. It’s not like anything I’ve read before. I’m afraid I can’t really say much about it without giving away the plot.
All I can say is it’s a must read book that will touch you to your soul. It might be a good idea to have that box of tissues handy while you’re reading this book.
This initiation into the writings of Alex Marestaing was one that has me wanting more and more books from him.
