Lenny's Space

152 pp. | Farrar/Foster | October, 2007 | Trade ISBN 978-0-374-34575-4 $16.00
(2) 4-6 Quirky Lenny Brewster irritates most people, except Muriel, a kind counselor, and Van, Lenny's first friend, who has leukemia. With Muriel's guidance, Van becomes Lenny's pathway to empathy and maturity. Banks's spare prose keeps this story from being sentimental or manipulative. Both Lenny and the reader will hang on to Muriel's quiet wisdom long after the story is over.
