Spencer's mother insists he do volunteer work and that's how he meets Ed in the nursing home. One day Ed shows him a magical book full of photos of some of the most famous (and good) people in the world and makes some of those people step out of the book and talk to them. Then he drops a bomb on
This was super-cute. I would have devoured this when I was a kid. Magical book! Best friends and a good dog! What's not to love?
I especially enjoyed Gregor and Spencer and their friendship. Gregor is on the autism spectrum (and to the best of my knowledge he's portrayed fairly and accurately) and he and Spencer know just how to get along with each other. There's no stigma here, not from Spencer nor from the new friends they meet, and theirs is really just a powerful friendship. I think this would be a good book for kids who want a little adventure to read.
