by Jonathan Safran Foer
Oskar's father died in the 9/11 World Trade Centre disaster, when Oskar was 7. Two years later, he finds a key in a vase in his dad's closet and he ventures out to find the lock it fits - somewhere in the whole of New York. As well as the details of his search and the characters he meets along the way, we also learn about Oskar's Grandma and her heartbreaking relationship with Grandpa, who as a boy had survived the Dresden bombings. It's a sad but wonderful and sometimes humorous account of death, mourning, love, survival, new friendships, and how the search for the truth can reveal more surprises than you expect.
