2018 A to Z Challenge - O
What a neat quirky book! Reminiscent of fairy tales and Greek myths. A mystical tale told through the eyes of a young boy trying his best to get through childhood and its nightmares with the help of his much loved books and a strange girl named Lettie.
Quotes: "That's the trouble with living things. Don't last very long. Kittens one day, old cats the net. And then just memories. And the memories fade and blend and smudge together..."
"Monsters come in all shapes and sizes. Some of them are things people are scared of. Some of them are things that look like things people used to be scared of a long time ago Sometimes monsters are things people should be scared of, but they aren't."
"I do not miss childhood, but I miss the way I took pleasure in small things, even as greater things crumbled. I could not control the world I was in, could not walk away from things or people or moments that hurt, but I found joy in the things that made me happy."
