not nothing

NOT NOTHING written by Gayle Forman, read by Dion Graham and Gayle Forman

Gayle Forman’s NOT NOTHING has two interwoven stories of two extraordinary characters. 12-year-old Alex and 107-year old Josey. They meet at Shady Glen, a care home where Alex, for reasons we’re not told in the beginning, must volunteer. Joseph Kravitz, Josey, hasn’t spoken for five years, is basically just waiting to die until Alex’s ability to listen stirs him. Josey’s tales of his life as a Polish-Jew during the Holocaust unite the two characters, and the entire home as gradually we understand their connection and together they show that they are way more than “not nothing.” Dion Graham reads most of the audio and does an incredible job of distinguishing the two stories and their captivating stories.Find out more about the book and audio in the purchase link below.
