In The Hug, internationally renowned author David Grossman tells the moving story of the moment when Ben realizes that no two living creatures are alike-not his mother and father, their beautiful dog Miracle or the ants who march side by side at his feet and appear identical-and the loneliness he feels knowing that there is no one else quite like him in the whole world.
