Rats are gross I learned, but also cool

Quirky characters fill this unique story about four half siblings who go in search of their father—who disappeared from each of their individual families to start his life over. Offbeat and funny, sometimes poignant, and entertaining throughout.

This was not my favorite book because I’m not really interested in planets.

I didn’t realize this was a book for middle schoolers when I picked it up . That being said the subject matter is very deep, murder, abuse , child lose and grief . I couldn’t gauge the time setting . The 13 year olds have to help out and work crabbing, culling chickens etc and they even smoke cigarettes. I feel it would be hard for children to connect to this book today.

I really enjoyed the plot in this book, it was unique. I liked Eileen and Anders and how they both love reading. I haven’t read too many books where the main characters love to read so I really enjoyed this one.

A wonderful book for animal lovers, especially rescued cats. A little slow at times, it does work as a memoir. And architecture lovers will enjoy reading about the unique house Caleb built. And nature lovers will appreciate the vivid descriptions of the Taconic mountain. It's a light summer read, great for small moments. But be ready to cry at the end.

Amazing storyline, and a huge twist at the end. The story was addicting and engaging.

I hate Mrs.Tifon she is so mean but I love how Skye stood up to her I love it I think everyone should read it

Struck me as too Sex and the City/ Real Housewives superficial treatment of superficiality. Didn’t care enough about any of the characters for any of the tragedies in the plot to hit as such. Was surprised to be this disappointed.

I enjoy Riley savers writing style, so I always enjoy his books. Usually I prefer his books with more shocking twist and speechless endings, but this book didn’t give me it.
