This book was the perfect culmination of many emotions. There was loss, love, and laughter. The McLean family was extremely relatable with their humble attitudes and genuine goodness. My favorite part about this novel was reading about Pete, and his experiences that helped shape him into the man he becomes. The reader is able to experience adolescence with him, which is a trying time in anyone’s life, but it was especially hard for him with all of the issues that had plagued him.
Though this book seems like it is only a mystery, it is so much more than that. This book explores what happens to and in the family unit when they are threatened. The novel shows the close-mindedness of some, and what it will eventually cost them. I liked how the author used characters that were seen as outcasts because there are those that are ostracized because they don’t seem to fit in.
