(3) YA A school art assignment nudges fourteen-year-old Joseph into an unconventional friendship with a neighborhood recluse rumored to have an unsavory past. A shared interest in raising silkworms gradually brings the two together and serves as the metaphorical pivot of the novel. Bauer spins a gentle tale about loss, pain, and unpredictable miracles of transformation.
