Lenny's Book of Everything

Set in 1970s Ohio, the novel follows Lenny Spink and her younger brother Davey, who suffers from a rare form of gigantism that causes him to grow rapidly and unpredictably. As Davey's health declines, the siblings find comfort in the Burrell's Build-It-at-Home Encyclopedia series that arrives in the mail, poring over each installment together. The story explores their family dynamics and how they cope with illness and uncertainty during this period.
