āWhen you find something thatās whole, you do what you can to keep it that way. And when you find something that isnāt, then maybe itās not a bad idea to try to make it whole again.ā These words from Gary Schmidtās latest young adult novel, , refer to an Audubon folio that is being sold off, page by page. But many things in the book are not whole, including the family of Doug Swieteck. Dougās life is shadowed by darkness, but heās holding on to what hope he can find. Along with a strong story and great characters, youāll find art, Vietnam, Jane Eyre, baseball, and more. Ages 12 and up. (Clarion)
