Graceâs aunt is a writer. She works with words every day and teaches Grace interesting words like âmelancholyâ and âdelirious.â
But Lily is often âflummoxedâ by her writing. Her stories donât go anywhere, her desk is a mess, and her writerâs group canât help.
So Lily posts an ad for an assistant: A writer of books needs an assistant, a coach, a helper, for inspiration and some magic!
The next day, Grace opens the door, and there is Rex: a Labrador retriever who will change Graceâs life, and Lilyâs. The word âamazingâ is an everyday word for Rex, who inspires Lily, and helps Grace find the words to write her own story.
