“Ruby’s novel deserves to be read and reread. It is powerful, beautiful, extraordinary.”—School Library Journal
Everyone knows Bone Gap is full of gaps.
So when young, beautiful Roza went missing, the people of Bone Gap weren’t surprised. But Finn knows what really happened to Roza. He knows she was kidnapped by a dangerous man whose face he cannot remember.
As we follow the stories of Finn, Roza, and the people of Bone Gap, acclaimed author Laura Ruby weaves a tale of the ways in which the face the world sees is never the sum of who we are.
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
In Laura Ruby’s intense mystery, reality and fantasy blur into something magical and terrifying. After the sudden disappearance of his friend Roza, kindhearted high-school student Finn O’Sullivan learns that not everything is as it seems in the tight-knit community of Bone Gap, Illinois. As the town busybodies gossip about Finn’s budding romance with his plain-Jane classmate Petey, Finn grows convinced that Roza was abducted, and that her kidnapper was not of this world. With its blend of small-town quirks and supernatural dread, Bone Gap reminded us of David Lynch’s Twin Peaks…with a young-adult twist.

Amazing loved the book read it in one day
interesting but confusing
I had some difficulty figuring out what was going on with this book. I like the characters, but I'm not sure if the story was suppose to be completely realistic or what really happened at the end. When his issue with recognition was revealed it was really interesting to me, and really a lot of it was interesting to me. I was left feeling confused after reading it though.
