The Lost Track of Time by Paige Britt

4.0

This book reminded me a lot of Salman Rushdie's first children's book, "Haroun and the Sea of Stories." I'd have to revisit Rushdie's book to give a better comparison, but off the top of my head the following is similar: darkness/sadness/shadows being tangible, continuous play on words/idioms/concepts (or the figurative made literal), a big giant magical bird, and the fantastical worlds are quite similar in terms of imagination and stories being suppressed/forbidden by some powerful force and that entire realm's existence depends on an young child who doesn't realize how important they are to that world.
