The Leaving by Tara Altebrando - 423 pages
Eleven years ago, six kindergartners disappeared on the first day of school.
No one knows what happened to them. The only clues were a man carrying wrapping paper and a comment one of the kids made that she was "going to the leaving".
Now, five of the kids have come back.
They still don't know what happened as none of the kids have memories of their time away. They were simply dropped off at a playground with maps to their homes.
Who took them? Where have them been? And where is the sixth kid?
This was a very strange book. It used spacial blocking, highlighted fonts, and symbols throughout the book to help tell the story. To be honest, I found it more annoying than adding anything to the story. Still, the mystery was interesting and kept me reading to the end of the book.
