Nine-year-old Oskar finds a key which he believes that his father who died in the 9/11 disaster left as a hidden message for him. But there are 162 million locks in New York and the quest is daunting even for inventive clever Oskar. As he travels around the city he is drawn into a moving family mystery. The story is fascinating but the typographical twists left me unconvinced.
