There's only one place in the world that lonely twelve-year-old Walter Lavender Jr. feels at home: The Lavenders, his mother's unusual West Village dessert shop, where meringues scud through displays like clouds, marzipan dragons breathe actual fire, and the airy angel food cake can make customers pounds lighter. When the mysterious and magical Book at the heart of the shop vanishes and a landlord threatens closure, it's up to Walter to find the Book and save the shop. Despite--or because of--a communication disorder that renders him speechless and friendless, Walter has a special ability to find lost things. In fact, the only thing he's failed to find is his father, a pilot lost in a presumed plane crash at sea before Walter was born. Accompanied by Milton, his best friend and overweight golden retriever, Walter's quest will take him around and under New York City, into subway tunnels and soaring over Central Park, from bottle collecting in Chinatown to racing through the Met, and introduce him to the extraordinary and forgotten people of this fantastical city. Along the way he will discover his voice and learn what it means to truly be found"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Boys $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Autism $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Dogs $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Large type books. 650 7 $a FICTION / Coming of Age. $2 bisacsh 655 7 $a Bildungsromans. $2 gsafd 655 7 $a Fantastic fiction. $2 gsafd 941 $a 5 945 $a lpt 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20240202021846.0 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20231012021006.0 952 $l WAPD715 $d 20210924014618.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20181006112659.0 952 $l MXPG943 $d 20180907030507.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=18346FD4F05411E7964A246697128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
