Synopsis

When a mysterious customer tells Adam great things await him in the attic of his uncle’s bakery, he brushes off the exchange. It’s 1999 in New York City—and Adam has already met his fair share of oddballs and eccentrics.

But days later, in the attic, Adam makes a discovery that quickly sets him off on a whirlwind adventure. And Adam soon suspects he may not be the only one aware of his extraordinary secret when a tall man with long eyebrows and a thin mustache appears to be following his every move. …

With words that are warm, witty, and wise, debut author G. Z. Schmidt has written a fantastical novel that celebrates pluck in the face of adversity, and the timelessness of human nature.

Goodreads review by Pandas on September 30, 2023

Das Cover ist wunderschön und ein echter Blickfang. Das einzige Manko ist für mich, dass das Cover und der Titel nicht ganz zur Geschichte passen und somit falsche Erwartungen wecken könnten. Auch der bildhafte Schreibstil der Autorin lässt sich sehr flüssig lesen, sodass ich das Buch innerhalb weni......more
