I’ve never felt completely at home anywhere in this world, which is why I searched so long for the Island of Lost Things. This book is dedicated to the people who live there with me or sometimes visit, especially Christina and Madeleine, but also the creatures who share our lives (known and unknown), including but not limited to: Tuesday, Little, Rhubarb, Max the sheep, Lester, Yolk, Big Bear, Megatronus, Ellie, Simple Bear, Pastry, Saturday, Phyllis, Jig, Coconut, George the mouse, and Robot Rabbit Boy (yes, he’s real).
