PUBLISHER'S DESCRIPTION
This is the story of Kade Mackenzie, a thirteen-year-old boy born into the foster system of Los Angeles and plagued most of his life by seizures and inadequate guardianship. Despite his circumstances Kade has not given up hope that something better lies ahead for him. One day, desperate to leave the confining walls of his foster parent’s apartment, Kade puts his faith in a man promising him a new beginning far, far away. Soon Kade finds himself immersed in a world he could have scarcely imagined to be possible. It is a world of many fascinating beauties, enlivening ideas and deep, dusky mysteries. Not everyone is as they first appear. It is in this new world that Kade Mackenzie will be forced to find who he truly is.

ReplyDeleteEveryone I know who has gotten their hands on this book can't put it down. Yet again I am begging the question: when am I going to start reading it? I'm really looking forward to the interview with this new and apparently dynamic young author. Perhaps it will tip the scale when I'm deciding my next read?
