Newbery Medal-winning author Patricia MacLachlan has written a magical and funny tale about the joy found in using words, sharing stories, and loving a wondrous dog: Rex.
Graceโs aunt is a writer. She works with words every day and teaches Grace interesting words like โmelancholyโ and โdelirious.โ
But Lily is often โflummoxedโ by her writing. Her stories donโt go anywhere, her desk is a mess, and her writerโs group canโt help.
So Lily posts an ad for an assistant:ย A writer of books needsย an assistant, a coach, a helper,ย for inspiration and some magic!
The next day, Grace opens the door, and there is Rex: a Labrador retriever who will change Graceโs life, and Lilyโs. The word โamazingโ is an everyday word for Rex, who inspires Lily, and helps Grace find the words to write her own story.
