From the back cover:

A boy's search for his father becomes a desperate journey to unlock a secret past. But it is a past that must not be remembered...if he is to survive.

I was digging through books at our local library's ongoing used paperback sale when I found this and thought it would be nice to start a bookring with it. It's been a while since I've read it, but I remember enjoying it...even if it was a little weird.

(Roll Call)

Here's our finalized shipping order, then:


jsara (US - will ship anywhere)
Hayes13 (Italy - will ship anywhere)
fusillifunk (Portugal - will ship anywhere)
snufkin81 (South Africa - will ship anywhere)


...then back home for a wild release...


I think most of us know how these things work, but just in case, here's how it goes. First, please make a journal entry when you receive the book. Then take your time and enjoy the book. (Usually I recommend keeping the book for no longer than a month, but if you find that it's taking you a little longer to finish the book, just keep us updated.) When you're nearing the end of the book, please send the next person in line a PM to request shipping information. When you've finished the book, please make another entry to let us know what you thought and to let us know you're ready to mail the book along to the next participant. Finally, send the book out and make release notes.

If it's possible, be kind to the earth by reusing the envelope the book arrived in!

Happy reading, and Happy Bookcrossing!

CONTROLLED RELEASE NOTES:

loved the book. I knew nothing about it before I started. An unusual story with a good pace.

enjoy!

Arrived this morning. Thank you. I'm really looking forward to re-reading this strange, wonderful book.

CONTROLLED RELEASE NOTES:

I really enjoyed re-reading this... soooo creepy and wonderful. Great suspense!!

Thanks for starting this ring! Now off to Portugal!

This book is now in Portugal. Thanks, Hayes, for the surprise postcard. Happy early holidays to you too!

CONTROLLED RELEASE NOTES:

Allright. This book is off to South Africa now. Sorry I kept it for so long.

Received today. Thanks, fusillifunk!

This was quite a disturbing and, at the end, shocking read. I got into it easily and found that I had to keep reading to find out what the secret was. The last chapter was heartbreaking, poor boy.

Thanks, allthesepieces, for giving me the opportunity to read this. It'll be on its way back to you shortly.

Sent back to allthesepieces by airmail on Saturday morning.

And it's back at home! Thank you, everyone who participated in this bookring! And thank you, snufkin81, for the lovely postcard! :)

I've been posting book giveaways on my Facebook wall hoping to convince at least a few of my friends to join Bookcrossing. I'm going to see if anyone claims this book, but if not, I'll release it in the park.
