The voices belong to the things in his house--a sneaker, a broken Christmas ornament, a piece of wilted lettuce. Although Benny doesn't understand what these things are saying, he can sense their emotional tone; some are pleasant, a gentle hum or coo, but others are snide, angry and full of pain. When his mother, Annabelle, develops a hoarding problem, the voices grow more clamorous. At first, Benny tries to ignore them, but soon the voices follow him outside the house, onto the street and at school, driving him at last to seek refuge in the silence of a large public library, where objects are well-behaved and know to speak in whispers. There, Benny discovers a strange new world. He falls in love with a mesmerizing street artist with a smug pet ferret, who uses the library as her performance space. He meets a homeless philosopher-poet, who encourages him to ask important questions and find his own voice amongst the many. And he meets his very own Book-a talking thing-who narrates Benny's life and teaches him to listen to the things that truly matter. With its blend of sympathetic characters, riveting plot, and vibrant engagement with everything from jazz, to climate change, to our attachment to material possessions, The Book of Form and Emptiness is classic Ruth Ozeki--bold, wise, poignant, playful, humane and heartbreaking"-- Publisher.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status Due Date   Aina Haina Public Library Adult Fiction Ozeki Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Ewa Beach P/S Library Adult Fiction Ozeki Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Hana P/S Library Adult New Books Ozeki Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Hawaii Kai Public Library Adult Fiction Ozeki Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library Adult Fiction Ozeki Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Fiction Ozeki Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Fiction Ozeki Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kahuku P/S Library Adult Fiction Ozeki Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kailua Public Library Adult Fiction Ozeki Checked out 05/04/2024 Add Copy to MyList Kailua-Kona Public Library Adult Fiction Ozeki Checked out 05/04/2024 Add Copy to MyList Kaimuki Public Library Adult Fiction Ozeki Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kalihi-Palama Public Library Adult Fiction Ozeki Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kapaa Public Library Adult Fiction Ozeki Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kapolei Public Library Adult Fiction Ozeki Checked out 04/25/2024 Add Copy to MyList Kihei Public Library Adult Fiction Ozeki Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Koloa P/S Library Adult Fiction Ozeki Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Lanai P/S Library Adult Fiction Ozeki Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Laupahoehoe P/S Library Adult Fiction Ozeki Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Lihue Public Library Adult Fiction Ozeki Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Liliha Public Library Adult Fiction Ozeki Checked In   Add Copy to MyList More Results: 1 2 Next
