The 1,000-Year-Old Boy

AMAZING book! No issues with delivery/condition. Amazing for middle-graders and older teens and even adults alike. About a boy who lives for a thousand years (and wants to stop) and another boy and girl who become his friends to help him do what he has to do. Includes funny lighthearted moments (kids would enjoy) and also wholesome, emotional and touching moments, and some great adventure and twists too.

It’s a gift for my 9 year old daughter, a lovely book since she loves to read. Received it a day after I purchased which was great sadly the front cover was bent.

جيد لكن سعره مرتفع

My 12 year old is not a big reader per se, but I had no fights getting him to read this book. He loved it and said like 10 times after he finished, what a great book it was! Now to find another good one for him to keep reading... :)

This heartwarming book follows a boy, Alfie Monk as he goes through more than 1000 years on earth. He is one of the last remaining Neverdeads, having used a legendary Liverperler on himself at the age of 11. He yearns to treasure life, grow up and one day, pass away. He needs to obtain the last remaining liverperler, where he and his mother hid it centuries ago. Now, as an orphan uncovering the liverperler is more dangerous than ever with twists and turns throughout every page. Definitely recommended for all ages and will have you hooked to the end. -HM -11 years

REVIEW: For it's astonishing blurb, unique concept and beautiful cover, I picked the book. I hoped it would be just a good enough book but the result is completely different. After my lightening fast read,finishing the novel, I have realised that I am still in its fever and drowning into its magical land. So basically the book is story of a 1000 year old boy - Alve Monk aka Alfie, a 1000 year old woman - mum of Alfie and a 1000 year old cat Biffa. Believe me I am not joking! The author tales the story of 1000 years and how Alfie meet Roxy and Aidan and how the system change. I won't say anything as I can't spoil the story line but I want to tell the story, to everyone, to my beloved ones, in a stormy magical evening. But I can't, so I am requesting to pick the book and make yourself feel like me. Ha ha! With the very first line, I recognized that it gonna be epic. Every dialogues are covered with great humour, the characters are so real that you can relate with it properly. The storytelling is just master class. While reading you can feel yourself in an ancient land or in the cloud or in the vast sea or in a child's passionate garage. The author created some unbelievable beautiful character. No word for Alfie as he is the hero but how he portraits the lovely, smart, intellectual, little girl Roxy and the typical boy Aidan, deserve hats off. The plot was so much gripping and full of extravaganza. It never tell a fairy tale or a fantasy story, you can relate your family with their family, your lifestyle and thought with their and you can fell the pain of that thousand years old heart. The story portraits the very fact of ignorance in a disguise of a magic. You will laugh,cry,love,hate and think. The story is emotional, moving and magnificent. Epic Saga of a brave boy with an ancient soul. Can't describe my inner filling here in such a small boundary. It's epic and it is beyond of the rules. A inspiring, delightful, brilliantly crafted story. So If you are 12 year old or 44 years old or 70 years old or '1000 years old!',please peak the book and drown in the magical world. A must read. Overall Rating: 5/5
