When a young boys curiosity got the better of him, he finds himself in a mysterious land on the hunt for his long-lost father. The one thing that influences him the most is a very old book, called "How to live forever"

This story was a bit odd and morbid but the illustrations were amazing. I might purchase it for the pics alone.

A story about missing books and libraries

Amazingly detailed illustrations and a real joy for bibliophiles.

Wow, I love the illustrations in How to Live Forever--very detailed, colorful, and delightfully descriptive of the story. The magic of the illustrations reminds me a bit of David Wiesner's style. Interesting story, too, about a little boy who searches for the hidden treasure of a book promising

immortality, only to find out it's not all it's cracked up to be (the book AND living forever!).

This kids picture book is terrific, with outstanding extremely detailed artwork and a fantasy story of a boy searching a living library for a book that promises immortality.
