Lenny’s Book of Everything is a big-hearted novel about love and letting go. It tells the story of Lenny, and her younger brother Davey who won’t stop growing – he has a rare form of gigantism – and at seven is as tall as a man.
Raised by their single mother, who works numerous jobs and is made almost entirely out of worries, they have an ‘us against the world’ mentality, gradually chipped away as Davey’s health deteriorates.
The high point in their week is the arrival of the latest issue of Burrell's Build-It-at-Home-Encyclopedia, through which Lenny and Davey experience the wonders of the world.
