After his estranged father’s death, Jack Corman returns to his childhood home with a key to the attic. Inside lay an army puppets from his father’s cult classic 80’s movie, The Shadow Glass. Desperate to leave behind the memories of the alcohol-fueled abuse he suffered and pay back some of his debts, Jack arranges to sell the main protagonist puppet and move on with his life. That is, until a wild storm brings the puppets to life! Their fictional world Iri is on the brink of collapse, and they need to find the original Shadow Glass prop if they wish to go back home and stop the evil lizard queen from taking over Earth! Will Jack be able to return to his childlike wonder and reconcile with his feelings about the film– and all it represents– to figure out where his father hid the Shadow Glass? Author Josh Winning manages to bring to life the zany charm of classic “Jim Henson”-esque puppet films we all wished were real as children in an adult-oriented, nostalgia-packed way. If you enjoyed (real) 80’s films like Labyrinth, Dark Crystal, or The NeverEnding Story, this book is for you.
