Kota
kecil Littlewood dipisahkan oleh sebuah sungai yang membagi pemukiman penduduk
dalam dua sisi yang berbeda. Di sisi sebelah kanan, hunian lebih besar karena
termasuk fasilitas sekolah, gereja dan supermarket. Sedangkan sisi sebelah kiri
sungai hanya ada dua hunian, satu milik keluarga Welman dan satu dihuni oleh
keluarga Maxwell. Keluarga Maxwell cukup dikenal oleh penduduk Littlewood
karena mereka justru jarang bersosialisasi atau saling memperkenalkan diri
dengan penduduk lainnya. Bahkan oleh anak-anak, pasangan suami-istri Maxwell
dikabarkan merupakan penyihir yang tidak menyukai anak-anak. Tiada yang tahu
kebenaran dari aneka isu yang terjadi karena tak satu pun dari mereka berani
untuk mengetuk dan masuk ke dalam kediaman keluarga Maxwell. Hingga pada suatu
hari, Laura Welman – si bungsu yang selalu takut untuk melewati kediaman
Maxwell saat berangkat ke sekolah, berjumpa dengan salah satu anggota keluarga
Maxwell yang akan merubah kehidupannya.

“Today I’m five. I was four last night going to sleep in Wardrobe, but when I wake up in Bed in the dark I’m changed to five, abracadabra. Before that I was three, then two, then one, then zero.”
Room is where Jack
was born, where he plays with Ma, where he sleep, eat, prays, watching TV,
taking baths, and do everything as he like on schedule. Room is the world,
where only Jack and Ma exist, sometimes Old Nick too when he show-up
occasionally. Jack is a a good kid, with enthuasim and curiosity like any other
child at his age. But Jack is not an ordinary kid. Because he believe the world
only what he sees, feels, and touch is in the Room. Outside Room is just
imaginary, at least that’s what Ma often say to him.

My reading
preference mostly in thriller, mystery and fantasy, and since two years ago I
also added classiclit in my TBR, but then again I also reading so many
different genre as long there is ‘good story’ in it. Several months ago I
stumble on book by Laurie Halse Anderson’s Catalyst
– the kind of story that really surprise me with shocking moment, added with
interesting subject too. Since then I’m reaching to spend times to read another
book of her. Then finally I meet with ‘SPEAK’ – another Laurie’s works that
already have several praise and award too. But the subject of the story itself
who really got me interested in reading it.

Katalisator tidak habis terpakai, ia menciptakan jalur energi baru yang lebih rendah dalam reaksi tersebut.” [ ~ from “Catalyst” | p. 81 ]
