Olivetti

Olivetti

Feiwel & Friends, 256 pgs., ISBN: 9781250326935, Grades 4 and up

It’s a hard job to belong to a family and to hold their memories, but typewriter Olivetti takes his job very seriously when it comes to the Brindle family (even if they don’t type on him nearly often enough).  His most frequent visitor used to be Beatrice, and he is overjoyed when he sees her again after a long period of time. His joy is short-lived, however, when she brings him to a pawnshop and leaves him there.  When Ernest, Beatrice’s son, discovers Olivetti in the pawnshop window, Olivetti knows he must break the only rule that typewriters keep - the rule of silence - to help Ernest find his mother.
