The Luster of Lost Things
By Sophie Chen Keller
This is the kind of story where every word feels like it was perfectly chosen, and every turn of phrase just fits and feels so perfect. In New York there is a sweet little dessert shop that is infused with magic, and with love, and a young boy who doesn't speak. His only friend is a golden retriever and this boy likes to find lost things for other people. He has never stopped searching for his lost father too, and leaves a light burning for him in the dessert shop. When the most important book ever, which holds the story of his mother and father and all things beautiful in it, becomes lost - it is up to Walter ( and Milton - his dog) to begin a search for that most prized possession. Along the way he finds new friends, new experiences, and truths about himself that will lead him to what he needs most. If you loved A Man Called Ove, you will probably really enjoy this book. The characters are perfection, the writing and story golden, this truly will stay with you
