The Disapparation of James by Anne Ursu

3.0

I see Anne Ursu's Shadow Thieves mentioned, so thought I'd add this one. It is not a sci fi book, but is quite clever. It is intense, and for a parent, perhaps a bit disturbing. I had a tough time reading every word, until I did the horrible thing and read the end. It is about a boy who disappears into thin air. Literally. And the trauma and disruption it causes.

I read it because not only is she a good Minnesotan, but I was acquainted with her brother a few years ago, AND my sister has a best-friend's-brother is married to her type relationship, so it was interesting to read after hearing about her that way.
