BOOK SUMMARY
From the moment Idea was born, he wanted nothing more than to be introduced to the four corners of the world. But time and time again, the strongholds of complacency and procrastination clung to and held back his creator, leaving Idea prematurely shelved. Inevitably, like a host of others before him, our rambunctious bright Idea is tossed into a dark memory box, smothering his radiant glow and leaving him forgotten altogether.
At the same time, on the other side of town—despite Idea’s bleak confinement—a peculiar Shopkeeper from The Nothing New Shop of Old Things is encouraged by the notion that timing is everything. The Shopkeeper sets in motion a whirlwind of events with the potential to reignite Idea’s gift and determine once and for all whether he is truly destined for greatness or just an idea.
And just like that, our tale takes a sharp turn from joyful optimism and infinite possibilities to somber indifference and squandered opportunities. When Idea, his creator, the Shopkeeper, and a plucky go-getter’s worlds collide, we find ourselves confronted with gnawing regrets of our own as we wrestle with the wonder of what if, the gift of hindsight, and the hope of second chances.
