The nice thing is that when we do catch up there are all these things that are old to everyone else but new to us. We don’t watch television or do all that much with screens in general and seem to be in our two year old’s world - so we miss a lot of things. I’m also sure most people have heard of this book because there is a movie and an app related to this story. Reading back over my summary, I can tell you that I’m not doing this book justice. The story ends with the girl opening his book. Soon after a little girl appears and she finds the book Mr. Lessmore away and he is magically transformed into the way he was the first time he met the books. He tells his wonderful books that he will miss them but will keep them in his heart. He is carried away by flying books and spends the rest of his life happily caring for books until the time comes for him to move on.
Lessmore, that moment comes in the form of books. The funny thing about being lost is that I’ve found that’s precisely the moment when the opportunity of a lifetime comes along giving your life meaning and purpose. Then something rocks, shakes, and blows it all away leaving him lost. What do I think it is about? I think it is about someone whose life is going along all orderly and according to plan. The Longer Review: This book is about a lot of things. It’s a book for adults that have gone through a very rough time cleverly disguised as a children’s book.
It is currently nominated for a Cybils and the short film version of this story won an Academy Award. At a Glance: We love this book and highly, highly recommend it.
