Alvin can spell every word in the dictionary, but he can't talk to his peers. He has no friends aside from Merriam and Webster. He has no home outside of the thin, flaky pages with definitions and pronunciation guides. The hard, cloth-bound covers are his shelter, and the soft, small-print words are his lullabies. He doesn't know how to fix his dilemma, but he does know how to elucidate it.
