Mischa: This book is so beautiful and tender. Lenny made my heart feel so full. Raised by her single mother, Lenny is a young girl who is forced to grapple with responsibilities beyond her years as she looks after her seven-year-old brother, Davey, who has a rare form of gigantism. Karen Foxlee has the most magical touch for creating emotive prose that often moved me to tears as much as it filled me with love and warmth. The included sections of Burrell's Build-It-at-Home Encyclopedia (the book in which Lenny and Davey are able to experience the wonders of the world vicariously) drive the novel and are used as an allegory to mark key moments in the children's lives. Foxlee explores the complexities of grief and the many dimensions of familial love with a sensitivity and richness that reads almost like a love letter to humanity. This book taught me so much about empathy and made me feel more human for reading it. Heart-warming and transformative, Lenny's Book of Everything is sure to be the next Wonder and is an Australian classic in the making! 10+
