Publisher's Synopsis
There are summers we survive, and summers that shape us.
This was the one that changed everything.
Or maybe it just reminded me of who I really was.
In the dust-soft afternoons of 1994, a quiet boy meets a girl with a cardboard shield and the kind of imagination that rewrites the world. Together, they build something out of nothing-kingdoms from scraps, stories from silence. For a little while, it feels like they've outrun reality itself.
But even the longest summers end.
And even the brightest magic can slip between fingers.
Years later, I still carry the fragments: a torn photo strip, the echo of her laugh, the shape of something I didn't know I was losing.
The Imagination of Everything is a quiet, bittersweet novella about memory, make-believe, and the strange, soft truths we discover when we're too young to name them. A story for anyone who still remembers what it meant to pretend-and what it meant to let go.
A cardboard kingdom.
A last adventure.
A story that stayed.
