Eleven years ago, six children went missing from a school
during a shooting. Five of them are back- and they seem fine, despite not
remembering the last decade of their lives. What happened to them is a mystery-
the only clues they have are their subconscious minds and the habits they have.
Jumping from the perspective of a survivor of the Leaving, and the sister of
the child who did not return, the hunt is on to find who took the children and
why.
I thought the book was okay. The idea was intriguing and the
mystery was interesting, but the execution was lackluster. The solution to the
mystery was vague and didn't seem like it flowed/ continued well in my opinion.
However, the novel did a good job at showing feelings of loss and sorrow for
the characters and the emotional aspect of the book was well written. I think
readers of sad stories would enjoy this, but I can't say I loved reading it.
