This story is about a boy who loves words. He collects words and saves his favourites and he's ostracized because of this and comes to a point where he's left home and a man stumbles upon some of his words and makes a poem out of them. He then decides it's his purpose to spread his words around the world. At the end he meets a girl named Melody and the narrator says if ever a word comes upon you it's because of the boy, and if you feel like singing it's because Melody's with him.
Kind of working the muse idea. This book was OK, but I've seen the 'divine inspiration' idea done better elsewhere. It has a little glossary at the back of the book that goes over some of the more difficult words they use, because some fancy words are put to use, so that's good.
Overall, there are better stories out there, but this one is a decent read.
