Mr. T, the old man referenced in the title, is a grumpy, grunting, 'unfriendly' man, who prefers to spend his retirement years quietly with his wife in a placid town in New Jersey, USA. But life has other plans. His wife passes away, as the novel opens. The peaceful house is now bustling with relatives and family who have landed here to support Mr. T in this trying time. After a few weeks, everyone has returned to their lives, and Mr T is now alone in the big house - with all his memories. He struggles to come to terms with this new, very lonely life, and realizes he must get out of the house to breathe in some fresh air. He goes for a walk by the river near his house. With every step, the grayness and melancholy of the past few days is getting washed away by the sheer force of aliveness on this boardwalk - the river is gushing with energy, there are runners and babies in strollers, the trees are buzzing with the chirping and tweeting of irrepressible birds. Mr. T smiles for the first time in weeks. Then it happens. As he sits under a maple tree, a little leaf drops into his hand. Not just any leaf, he is the Little Leaf - a friend who will accompany T to the most outlandish, joyous and mind-bending adventures he has ever experienced. They go on eagle rides to faraway lands, then deep inside the seas to the plush, gem-littered cave of Toxy, the golden fox, and still later, a steep fall into the Great Pipeline far below the earth, from where no one has ever returned. Read this book for a magical, joyful, heartwarming story in the vein of Fredrik Backman's A Man called Ove, The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry and Major Pettigrew's Last Stand.
