Book Description
Carry Me Down tells the poignant and emotionally charged story of John Egan, a twelve-year-old trapped in the body of a grown man, with the voice of a giant. Despite his physical appearance, John's mind is that of a child, and his obsession with the Guinness Book of World Records becomes both a refuge and a source of conflict.

John has an extraordinary ability—he can detect lies, a skill he has had since he was very young. This power, which should be a gift, often alienates him and adds confusion to his already difficult life. As John navigates the complexities of adolescence and his peculiar abilities, he struggles with the dissonance between his inner self and the world around him. His family, too, suffers from the strain of his condition, and as tensions rise, a shocking and potentially devastating event threatens to tear them apart.

This is a deeply emotional, yet oddly humorous, portrait of a misfit whose world is constantly at odds with his unique perception of it. Carry Me Down is a haunting exploration of a young boy’s coming-of-age and the fragility of sanity, all set against the backdrop of a family on the brink of collapse.
