Story4.5 out of 5 stars 800
At nine years of age, Logan Weber knows the routine. Keep quiet, make the food last, and don’t ever cause trouble. He’ll do what it takes to evade the rages of his troubled, violent father. Even though he’s only a child, Logan already knows too much - has seen too much. So when the opportunity presents itself, Logan runs. He has no idea where his journey will lead, or that the grandmother he’s been told is dead is desperately searching for him. Alone with no home of his own, Logan looks for a safe place to hide.

Sam Hill always saw the world through different eyes. Born with red pupils, he was called “Devil Boy” or Sam “Hell” by his classmates; “God’s will” is what his mother called his ocular albinism. Her words were of little comfort, but Sam persevered. Sam believed it was God who sent Ernie Cantwell, the only African American kid in his class, to be the friend he so desperately needed. And that it was God’s idea for Mickie Kennedy to storm into Our Lady of Mercy like a tornado, uprooting every rule Sam had been taught about boys and girls. Forty years later, Sam, a small-town eye doctor, is no longer certain anything was by design.

In medical charts, the term "N.A.D." (No Apparent Distress) is used for patients who appear stable. The phrase also aptly describes America's medical system when it comes to treating the underprivileged. Medical students learn on the bodies of the poor - and the poor suffer from their mistakes. Rachel Pearson confronted these harsh realities when she started medical school in Galveston, Texas.

My sons English teacher is reading this to his 7th grade class. In an effort to know what he’s learning and maybe learn a few things myself I decided to listen. This book is a story of redemption, being there for your friends and finding out who your real friends are. Great read for kids and parents.

So fun!
I am an adult, and occasionally I read a book for young adults or kids. I am usually disappointed, but not this time. This book grabbed me from the start, and I loved it right to the end. Yes, this would be a great book for a young reader, age 10-14, but I was riveted. It's a very fun, feel-good novel. It's about a bully who loses his memory and seems to become a different person. I found myself caring a lot about the characters, and rooting for the main character, Chase, to turn his life around. I think that almost any kid would love this book, and adults with some kid in them (like me, I guess) would too.

Gordon Korman has written a number of excellent children’s books, but this is likely my favorite so far. The story is compelling, the characters come to feel like people you know. This audio version is very well-done. Easily a 5-Star selection in my opinion!
