![]() Leo’s father’s journal hints at an aunt whom Leo has never met, and thus Leo’s search for the truth precipitates what we hope will become an alternate ending to his family’s story. ![]() Leo discovers a journal his father kept when he was thirteen years old, and therein Leo meets a person he cannot recognize as his own father. The aspect of Leo’s life that is the most confusing to him is his relationship with his father. The novel itself is written in short chapters which alternate between reality and Leo’s own imagined scenes. ![]() Known as Fog Boy (because of his tendency to get lost in thought and ignore the world around him), he spends most of his time on the roof of his family’s garage, imagining alternate endings to stories in which he plays the hero. His only real interest is acting, but to his great disappointment, he is only assigned a small roll in the much-anticipated school play. The narrator of the story, Leo, is a a twelve-year-old who feels overshadowed by his musically and athletically gifted siblings. This thoughful little book by the author of Walk Two Moons is a masterfully crafted peek into the life and heart of a large, Italian family. ![]()
