Winner of the Printz Award for YA literature, Bone Gap is full of mystery, heartbreak, and a little bit of magic. Finn and Sean are brothers who were abandoned by their mother when Finn was still in high school. Sean has put his dreams aside to take care of his younger brother. Finn seems a little "out there" with his odd expressions and strange distractions. He swears he saw the man who abducted Roza, the beautiful woman who mysteriously appeared in the barn, but he cannot describe who took her. No one believes his stories and the town mourns when Roza goes missing.
Though I enjoyed the book, I am not a huge fan of magic mixed in with my fiction unless I know I'm reading a fantasy book. This would be a great book for anyone who does enjoy that little magical twist. The chapters alternate the storytelling from a different character's point of view and it is intriguing how all these small town characters come together.
Again, adding this one, too!
