Bookroo's summary

Bruno's life is a whirlwind of shared spaces and unique challenges. His friend Sanjay enjoys a room to himself, while his brother Mateo, who is visually impaired, navigates life with the help of his dog, Rocco. Despite not having a pet or his own room, Bruno finds joy in messy beds, dinosaur games, and Mateo's captivating stories. As he compares his life to those around him, Bruno realizes that true luck lies in the love and adventures shared with his brother and friend. What makes Bruno feel like the luckiest of all?

From the publisher

Bruno’s home is a bit different, but he wouldn’t trade it for the world. Bruno’s friend Sanjay is lucky: He doesn’t have to share his room (well, except with a pet iguana), and he can leave his toy soldiers all over the house. And Bruno’s brother, Mateo, who is visually impaired, is pretty lucky too: He has a dog named Rocco who helps him get around. Plus, Mateo can keep reading after dark by using just his fingers (while Bruno has to use a flashlight). Still, Bruno has it pretty good. He can leave his bed a total mess. He can play dinosaurs with Sanjay and his iguana. And he can listen to Mateo’s made-up adventure stories (Mateo is a great storyteller). If he had to compare, he’d say he was the luckiest of all to have such a great friend and great brother.
