Lost Spectacular

Everything you love must leave you

Noon Bonaventure and Munro Forrest weren’t always rivals chasing each other through the pages of books. As children, they grew up listening to stories from Munro’s grandmother and arguing over their favourites. But then they discovered the Spectacular, a mysterious, ever-changing festival glittering with everything lost: forgotten ballets, texts from the Library of Alexandria, and skyfuls of umbrellas. This Spectacular, found only by invitation or in the pages of misprints, is the most precious thing in the world. Noon would protect it and maintain it, and Munro would ever-covet it.

Now long estranged yet forever linked adults, Noon and Munro’s different ways of processing loss have defined their ways of life. Munro, an ambitious museum curator, vows his next exhibit will bring down the Spectacular and return its lost treasures to their rightful owners. But Noon has been chosen as the next captain of the Spectacular, and she will do everything to protect it.

As opening night for Munro’s exhibit draws closer, he and Noon will have to stop running and finally agree on how their story ends—and perhaps, find a way to start again.
