Publisher Description:
From the acclaimed author of the international bestseller "Sophie's World" comes a modern-day odyssey filled with magic and meaning, fantasy and truth. "The Solitaire Mystery" weaves an astonishingly original tapestry of tales, both real and imagined, from the viewpoint of a twelve-year-old boy named Hans Thomas. On a car trip through Europe with his father, Hans searches for the mother who left them years ago. At the same time, he immerses himself in a fantastic miniature book that only he can read: the strange, whimsical adventures of a sailor on an island where a deck of cards has come to life. A brilliant balancing act between rhyme and reason, reveries and reality, "The Solitaire Mystery" invites the reader into both worlds, each chapter represented by a different card from the deck. In the end, the journey of Hans Thomas becomes our own, a universal search for meaning and fulfillment that not only enchants, but enriches our hearts and souls.
