By Millington, Allie
A heartfelt debut middle-grade told from the unique vantage points of a witty typewriter and an introverted boy -- for fans of Wishtree and A Rover's Story.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 Brindle family -- the family he's lived with for years. The Brindles are busy humans, apart from 12-year-old Ernest, who would rather be left alone with his collection of Oxford English Dictionaries. The least they could do was remember Olivetti once in a while, since he remembers every word they've typed on him. It's a thankless job, keeping memories alive.. Olivetti gets a rare glimpse of action from Ernest's mom, Beatrice -- his used-to-be most frequent visitor -- only for her to drop him off at Heartland Pawn Shop and leave him helplessly behind.
