Being a typewriter is not as easy as it looks. Surrounded by books (notorious attention hogs) and recently replaced by a computer, Olivetti has been forgotten by the Brindle family - the humans he’s lived with for years. The Brindles are busy: Dad and Mum work constantly, three of their children put the extra in extra-curriculars, and Ernest, their shy twelve-year-old, goes off alone to read.
When Olivetti learns Mum has mysteriously gone missing, he believes he can help find her. He breaks the only rule of his ‘kind’ and types back to Ernest, who must face what he and his family have been running from, The Everything That Happened. Only by working together will they find the parts of themselves they’ve lost.
Allie Millington first wrote Olivetti on her own antique typewriter, who turned out to have an awful lot to say. She lives with a collection of clacking machines, along with her husband Andrew, and their dog, Crumpet. For more about Allie, you can find her in her blanket fort or on instagram: @fictionallie.
