Room by Emma Donoghue and What to Do If You’re Being Kidnapped

July 20, 2023

Before we get into the book, we’re discussing what to do if you’re in the middle of being kidnapped. The short version:

  • Call 911 if you can (preferably on speaker).
  • Scream out “HELP!” along with your name.
  • Go for the eyeballs.

Of course, there are a few more tips here that we hope you’ll never need. Then, on to our book…

A five-year-old boy lets us into his world by describing what he loves, his mom, Dora the Explorer, and his room. But as we spend more time with Jack, we realize something is seriously wrong with his world. Does the room hold more than he knows? And is he in more danger than he understands?

The boy: Jack

The book: Room by Emma Donoghue
