The Toaster of Knowledge: Every Slice a Universal Truth (Appliance Oracle)

By Derek R. King and Julie L. Kusma

A toaster that burns symbols. A kid who just wants to fit in. A friendship that might not survive the truth. Ben didn't mean to unlock a mystery. He just made toast. But when the toaster in his kitchen begins imprinting cryptic symbols into slices of bread, Ben finds himself pulled into a surreal journey with his best friend, Liam, and his little sister, Lucy. Each symbol reveals something real-something true-and forces them to question everything: friendships, family, and the lies we tell ourselves to feel okay. A coming-of-age fantasy for ages 9-14, The Toaster of Knowledge blends magical realism, heartwarming humor, and emotional depth. Perfect for fans of Wonder, Because of Mr. Terupt, and A Wrinkle in Time.
