About this listen
When twelve year old Joseph tragically loses his mother, his world is shattered. Left with his angry, alcoholic father in their rundown apartment, he finds himself longing to be free of the life he’s been stuck with.
Staring into a generic landscape painting in the church basement at his mother’s funeral, he almost gets his wish; a mysterious girl in an Iron Maiden vest steps out of the picture, opening his eyes to impossible and incredible worlds. Joseph longs to follow her into the painting but before he can join her, he is ripped away and sent to St. Theodore’s Academy, a correctional school run by a sadistic headmaster.
Aided by his only friend, Odilon Mercier, Joseph will stop at nothing to escape St. Theodore's. His only hope at freedom is through the magical, strange, and dangerous worlds of the paintings he finds within the school.
But something else lurks within them. Something dangerous. Something hungry.
