About this listen
Being a typewriter is not as easy as it looks. Surrounded by books (notorious attention hogs) and recently replaced by a computer, Olivetti has been forgotten by the Brindles—the family he’s lived with for years. The Brindles are busy humans, apart from twelve-year-old Ernest, who would rather be left alone with his collection of Oxford English Dictionaries. Once a collector of words, now Olivetti only collects dust.
He gets a rare glimpse of action from Ernest’s mom, Beatrice—his used-to-be frequent visitor—only for her to drop him off at Heartland Pawn Shop and leave him behind. When Olivetti learns Beatrice has mysteriously gone missing afterward, he believes he can help find her. He breaks the only rule of the typewriterly code and types back to Ernest, divulging Beatrice’s memories stored inside him.
Their search takes them across San Francisco—chasing clues, dodging a dumpster diving girl, maybe committing a few misdemeanors. As Olivetti spills out the past, Ernest is forced to face what he and his family have been running from, the Everything That Happened. Only by working together will they find Beatrice, belonging, and the parts of themselves they’ve lost.

Story
When eleven-year-old Hank’s mom doesn’t come home, he takes care of his toddler sister, Boo, like he always does. But it’s been a week now. They are out of food and mom has never stayed away this long… Hank knows he needs help, so he and Boo seek out the stranger listed as their emergency contact. But asking for help has consequences. It means social workers, and a new school, and having to answer questions about his mom that he's been trying to keep secret. And if they can't find his mom soon, Hank and Boo may end up in different foster homes—he could lose everything.

For Violet Hart—whose family is about to move into the house on Katydid Street—very little felt like it fit anymore. Like their old home, suddenly too small since her mother remarried and the new baby arrived. Or Violet’s group of friends, which, since they started middle school, isn’t enough for Violet’s best friend, Paige. Everything seemed to be changing at once. But sometimes, Violet tells herself, change is okay. That is, until Violet sees her new room.

Allie Millington is a brilliant author. I fell in love with the Brindles and Olivetti. The power of story, memories, and family told in a captivating way made me want more. Hopeful Olivetti will become a series and one day a movie! Thank you, Allie, for sharing Olivetti with all of us! 🤍

I have never read a book from the point of view of a typewriter. I loved it. I’ve often said I would listen to Simon Vance read a phone book, but no need. This book is charming and profound.

Unique Story!
I was attracted to the premise and did enjoy the story. It took a bit to get going but once it did I highly enjoyed it. The narrators did well, I loved Olivetti. Deals with a hard topic, but really digs deep into the family dynamics. All in all a good story. Highly recommend.

Absolutely brilliant!
“Together is the only way forward.”
By far one of my favorite reads of 2024.
Let me just start by saying, the idea to give a sort of magical existence to a typewriter is absolutely brilliant. Olivetti lends a bit of class and maturity to the story, a stability to the emotional turmoil of twelve-year-old Ernest and his family. Even if, yes, Olivetti does show emotion sometimes. The entire cast of characters, even those who didn’t have a POV were captivating and well-rounded.
The first few minutes of this book had me laughing, and even though it soon became heartbreaking, mysterious, and then sweet, humor danced along the lines of this beautifully narrated story. (So, hats off to Allie Millington—but also to Christopher Gebauer and Simon Vance for the audiobook version.)
Allie weaves such a compelling tale of what it’s like to walk through life not having all the pieces of the puzzle; navigating hurt and healing amid the uncertainty; and embracing the people who just show up along the way (like Quinn).
I can’t say enough good things about this book, and yet, I could go on and on. But I don’t want you to spoil the experience for you—you’ll just have to check it out. And I recommend that you do.

Not what I expected
I like the characterization of the typewriter in particular, which gives this a whole new slant. But it isn't as lighthearted as expected, as the family involved is dealing with one of them suffering from cancer. The book does a very good -- if rather painful to hear -- showing the variety of reactions of the family members to serious illness, its aftermath, and the current situation. It has a feel of experience lived and depth because of this. So I recommend the book, but be aware it isn't just another object come to life kind of story.
