I have never read a story from the perspective of a typewriter, but this is by far one of the best books I have read this year. This is a story that explores a plethora of emotions. I loved that this family is probably one of the most normal families I have seen in literature in a long time. I think that the discussion around mental health and working through big life changing events is one that is important for kids to see. I think that this is the kind of book that I would recommend to kids for a multitude of reasons. I also love that it takes something that we don't engage with on a regular bases and breathe life back into the importance of taking care of older thing. I also love how it makes kids realize that just because something is old does not mean that it is unimportant. I also loved the vocabulary within this book and can see this being used in schools.
