Hi, Architectural Digest, Welcome to My Home (That I Don’t Live In)

by Alex O’Connor

“A key barometer of the literary climate.” —The New York Times

Winner of the John Newbery Medal. "Here is a book that is truly for all ages, as only the best stories are."
—Isaac Fitzgerald, The Today Show (author's pick)

“This book is a magic trick. The kind of magic trick where you want to know how to do it so you can also write a book this good.”
—Caldecott Medal winner Jon Klassen

“No book I have read in years has moved me so deeply; no book has felt so full of life.”
—Garth Greenwell
