DEAD TO YOU By: Lisa McMann Young Adult
DEAD TO YOU By: Lisa McMann
When I first picked up this novel I thought it was a book very similar to the Face on the Milk Carton by: Caroline Cooney. But boy was I ever wrong.
Ethan is sixteen years old and he realizes he was abducted when he was just seven. After living in a group home and then on the streets, Ethan does some research in the library and finds he is the missing son of a family in Minnesota. So begins his journey home, but because of some trauma he doesn't remember anything before he was taken. His younger brother doesn't believe he is Ethan. The story keeps you on the edge of you seat, only to give you and ending that totally shocks you. Sexual content and language, that is appropriate for the storyline. Ages 14 up. $16.99 Simon Pulse
