Free Book with Every Purchase at Evermore Books

This week we had the pleasure of meeting Kiwi author Mark Vrankovich, author of the thrilling spiritual-warfare novel, Kingdom Lost, and the brand-new book The Hikikomori. 

Over a million Japanese live as hikikomori—recluses terrified of the world outside their rooms. Miko Nishimura is one of them, convinced she is the most insignificant person in Japan.

Shackled by anxiety in her Tokyo bedroom, Miko finds her only escape in racing games. But her mouse batteries die while her parents are away.

What begins as a terrifying trip to buy batteries transforms into something far greater. As Miko ventures out into a society crushed by overwork and lost dreams, her kind heart awakens an ancient gift: the power to change lives, including her own. And so, upon her love, the fate of Japan begins to pivot.

A heartwarming coming-of-age novel weaving Japanese culture, magical destiny, and profound hope into a story that will bring laughter, tears, and belief in the courage of one small step.
