The real world is vast, strange, and unpredictable. Oscar's world is small, but he likes it that way.

On an island on the edge of an immense sea there is a city, a forest, and a boy named Oscar. The Real Boy, Anne Ursu's follow-up to her widely acclaimed and beloved middle grade fantasy Breadcrumbs, is a spellbinding tale of the power we all wield, great and small. "Beautifully written and elegantly structured, this fantasy is as real as it gets."-Franny Billingsley, author of Chime National Book Award Longlist * Bank Street Children's Book Committee Best Book of the Year
