Pressezitat
"Spun from a true anecdote and likely to move adult readers as well as younger ones, this set ofquiet encounters between a writer and a child has as much going on between the spare, poetic
lines as in them. . . . A tribute to the way words can change lives, as well as a rare glimpse of a
writer most of us perhaps only think we know." --Booklist, starred review
. . . this charmingly enhanced tale has it all: the kindness of a stranger, the loss of a beloved toy, adventures, and even closure. A winsome tale for the young, this could also be of value in high school collections where Kafka is taught. --School Library Journal, starred review
"This reimagined telling has an engaging charm that rings true." --Kirkus Reviews
