Lorenzo isn't happy about moving. But in his new room, he finds an old desk, with what seems likes hundreds of drawers. Each even has its own smell! Deep inside the desk, he finds a book and begins to read... When he looks up, he sees all kinds of curious things. Has the book come to life? Or is it something else? This is a graphic novel about observation, imagination, and the many incredible lenses through which everyday experience might be perceived, if you read.
