The emotional topic and Vivian Vande Velde's sensitive handling make this a special book that stands out to me. The characters may not be incredibly deep, but their plights are so emotionally charged and their feelings so understandable that I couldn't help but feel a strong connection. The mystery intrigued me and I was shocked by the ending. While part of me wishes Vivian Vande Velde had fleshed this out more (because I know this would have been a fantastic novel), I do appreciate how much she was able to pack into so few pages. What she discovers is not at all what she, or the reader, expects.Īt only 120 pages, this is another book that reads more like a novella than a full novel.
