Story
One year after the death of his beloved musician father, thirteen-year-old Benny Oh begins to hear voices. The voices belong to the things in his house—a sneaker, a broken Christmas ornament, a piece of wilted lettuce. Although Benny doesn't understand what these things are saying, he can sense their emotional tone; some are pleasant, a gentle hum or coo, but others are snide, angry and full of pain. When his mother, Annabelle, develops a hoarding problem, the voices grow more clamorous.

Beautiful book. Terrible narration.

Everything about this book lends itself to reading the bound copy. Do yourself a favor and READ this book. On the surface this is a story about loss (and growth) and how we navigate/cope. Dig deeper and you find the Heart and Soul of the book is about interconnectedness and impermanence....and so many other layers woven in between. Ozeki brilliantly breathes life into The Book, not just through her story, but in form.

Story
Charlie Reade looks like a regular high school kid, great at baseball and football, a decent student. But he carries a heavy load. His mom was killed in a horrific accident when he was seven, and grief drove his dad to drink. Charlie learned how to take care of himself—and his dad. When Charlie is seventeen, he meets a dog named Radar and her aging master, Howard Bowditch, a recluse in a big house at the top of a big hill, with a locked shed in the backyard. Sometimes strange sounds emerge from that shed.

This fairy tale has it all: Good vs Evil; Dark vs Light; Mermaids, Giants, and the undead; love, regrets and hope; and, of course, a boy and his dog. What's not to like?
