Twelve-year-old Liza Kidd has gone missing from her home in Boston. She leaves only a note tucked in her favorite fantasy book saying that she is going to the end of the world and beyond. Byron Kidd is determined to find his daughter, despite everyone telling him that she is dead. The only clue that Byron has is Liza’s phone location in Los Angeles, where it was used once before being shut off. Byron uses his investigative-journalist skills to try to find Liza, beginning in L.A. He secures an interview with Annabelle Tobin, the reclusive author of Liza’s favorite fantasy series, but it only leaves him with more questions and suspicions. Is Tobin part of a child-trafficking ring, or are her books merging with reality? Byron will have to dissect his own beliefs to reconstruct what’s real.
VERDICT Expertly told through a series of journal entries, emails, texts, and excerpts from Tobin’s novel, Frey’s (The Future Is Yours) book weaves a gripping, suspenseful narrative that flows well, even in this unique format. A blend of thriller and fantasy that’s perfect for fans of TV’s Stranger Things.
