patterns  rain that comes with wind  the curvature of many objects  books with dust jackets 
cats  rivers and Edgar Allan Poe. At age 13 there are two things he especially wants in life:
to build a Perpetual Motion Machine  and to connect with his mother Noelle  who died when he
was born. In his mind these things are intimately linked. And at his new school  where all else
is disorientating and overwhelming  he finds two people who might just be able to help him. How
