Summary/Review:
This short novel is part coming-of-age story, part family history, and part exploration of how we tell stories. The basic is gist of the story is about a 12-year-old boy whose father is a former aviator whose life is directionless since an airplane crash and his mother is a nurse who loses her job. David decides to “save” his family by having them all build model airplanes for sale in the toy shop below their home. David also has a passion for cooking that is encouraged by a friend of the family. I feel like I missed something towards the end of the book as there is a “big event” but I can’t figure out what happened. I’m not alone as other reviews mention this as well. Nevertheless this is a well-written philosophical and dreamy book.
