To pass the time, he studies the faces around him and makes pictures of their lives. There's the whiskered man with the crossword puzzle; Milo imagines him playing solitaire in a cluttered apartment full of pets. There's the wedding-dressed woman with a little dog peeking out of her handbag; Milo imagines her in a grand cathedral ceremony. And then there's the boy in the suit with the bright white sneakers; Milo imagines him arriving home to a castle with a drawbridge and a butler. But when the boy in the suit gets off on the same stop as Milo--walking the same path, going to the exact same place--Milo realizes that you can't really know anyone just by looking at them.\u003cb\u003eA \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e Bestseller\u003cbr\u003eA #1 Indie Bestseller\u003cbr\u003eA \u003ci\u003eParents \u003c\/i\u003eMagazine Best Book of the Year\u003cbr\u003eA \u003ci\u003eKirkus \u003c\/i\u003eBest Book of the Year\u003cbr\u003eA \u003ci\u003eHorn Book\u003c\/i\u003e Fanfare List Selection\u003cbr\u003eA \u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e Best Book of the Year\u003cbr\u003eA \u003ci\u003eShelf Awareness\u003c\/i\u003e Best Children’s Book of the Year\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eA New York Public Library Best Book of the Year\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA Chicago Public Library Best Book of the Year\u003cbr\u003eA \u003ci\u003eBCCB\u003c\/i\u003e Blue Ribbon List Selection\u003cbr\u003eAn ALA Notable Children’s Book\u003cbr\u003eA Bank Street Best Children’s Book of the Year\u003cbr\u003eLonglisted for the 2022 CILIP Kate Greenaway Medal\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e“Bright, fun, whimsical . . .
