For years, guitarist Quinn Porter has been on the road, chasing gig after gig, largely absent to his twice-ex-wife Belle and their odd, Guinness records-obsessed son. When the boy dies suddenly, Quinn seeks forgiveness for his paternal shortcomings by completing the requirements for one of his son's unfinished Boy Scout badges. For seven Saturdays Quinn does yardwork for Ona Vitkus, the spry 104-year-old Lithuanian immigrant the boy had visited weekly. Quinn soon discovers that the boy had talked Ona into gunning for the world record for oldest licensed driver. Despite himself, Quinn picks up where the boy left off, forging a friendship with Ona that allows him to know the son he never understood.

This is a rare story, uniquely told and superbly narrated, about an unusual boy, a centenarian Lithuanian immigrant, and the dreams and friendship they shared. It is an honest, if at times sobering, look at life, love, and what gives us meaning. If i were left on an island with only a few books, i would like this to be one of them. THE ONE-IN-A-MILLION BOY is so special and original, it's nothing short of a miracle. If you love heart-warming stories, you will love this one. Kudos to Chris Ciulla who brings every character fully alive!

Rare, riveting & heart-warming w/superb narration

Although it was packed with sadness (and hope born of the sadness), the truth it reveals is poignant: we often can't see how we impact others until there's damage or loss. At times, the list reading annoyed me, but I imagine it would be like real life with a boy like this one (that's to say often sweet but sometimes annoying). The way the final chapter was delivered, however, was perfect and I admit I got teary. This story made me want to know someone 104 and actually hear their stories!

Beautiful and memorable

I enjoyed this book. The story was very entertaining. It was very nice meeting all of the characters and they were presented well.

My only issue was that later in the book, the chapters where the old lady interacted with the little boy only only included the old lady's comments. That was quite distracting and did not allow the reader to fully connect with the little boy character, which was the main character to connect with.

But aside from that, this is an enjoyable book and I would recommend it.

Good book

I noticed I had not yet reviewed this and when I saw the title, I smiled. It really is a sweet story of a man who finally figures out what is really important, but nearly too late.

Enjoyable

This is a story that will stay with me a long time. I'd recommend it to anyone. As others have mentioned, it is a sad story, but also a story of redemption. Stay with it...excellent narration. Thanks Monica Wood and Chris Ciulla for a memorable listen.

Beautiful Story

I did not start out liking this book because I didn't understand the first three chapters. I really listen to them again and said now I get it.

This book tells many stories. You really have to listen to hear the jokes they are funny.

What do you take from your friends?

Really cool book!!

I bought this book because it was a daily deal. Again, I was pleasantly surprised! Not only was it a good book, it was a great book. It was a love story, but not your usual love story. It wasn't a boy meets girl story. It was a boy and his Dad meet a much older lady and become fast friends. It made me think, which is always good. But, it also made me feel, which is even better.

Not my usual genre, but it was on sale!

This book was so well written that I wonder if the author was or knew a child diagnosed with Aspergers Syndrome or OCD. The author compassionately and lovingly wrote about the intricacies of a child with one or both of these diagnosis.

Thank you for such a touching story. I was sad to hear it end. I will look for other books by this author and hope for the same feelings that this book evoked.

Sooooo Sweet
