The Boy Lost in the Maze

The Boy Lost in the Maze by Joseph Coelho follows Theo, a seventeen-year-old from London, as he embarks on a quest to find his estranged father, guided by the inspiration of the Greek myth of Theseus. Theo's journey, fraught with betrayal and challenges, mirrors the mythical Theseus's encounters with formidable foes like the Cyclops and the Minotaur. Through interwoven storytelling and poetry, the book draws parallels between the two protagonists' struggles for identity and manhood. Readers actively engage by choosing the heroes' paths, culminating in a dramatic confrontation in the labyrinth.
