Olivetti
by Allie Millington
A book of Magical realism — for middle graders — listened to as an audiobook — where the narrators of the story were enjoyable and easy to listen to as the story unfolds.
A young boy ( who is possibly neurodivergent ) `s mother goes missing and with the help of a sentient typewriter they search together to find where his mother has gone.
This is a heartfelt , heartrending, moving storyline and plot geared towards middle graders age group. I did have a hard time relating to most of the characters — my favourite was the typewriter which I was most invested in the outcome. — The concept of using the typewriter as a perspective is unique and creative.
This book at its depth is really about dealing with grief , uncontrollable change and life struggles— and how everyone deals with or reacts differently to coping with these things. The most important point of the book though is how communication is important in relationships of any kind.
Thank-you to Netgalley and RB Media for this ARC. This is my honest review.
