I liked this book even though it wasn't what I was expecting. I had the idea that it would be a young adult mystery/thriller. Even though there is mystery in there, there was not much thriller. Even so, it was a good unexpected book that sent out a message.
The story is about a boy named Christopher Creed who is a bit different from the other kids in his town. Because of that he hasn't made any friends and he gets beat up a lot. Then one day he ends up missing. The town goes into turmoil as rumors arise. Was he murdered? Did he runaway? Did he commit suicide? Fingers start pointing and accusations start flying. One boy named Torey starts to really care what happened to him and starts looking into to it. Not only does he see more clearly into what Christopher actually went through in his life but he starts seeing what others around him have went through as well.
I think this is a great book for young teens to read. It makes you look at that weird kid in school a little differently. Maybe instead of picking on him/her, maybe try to be someone for them to talk to or at least understand that they might be going through a lot. Great lessons to be learned in the book and written very well.
