Where Things Come Back

Interesting, weird, and at times annoying (especially Cullen's habit of starting most of his thoughts with, “when one is...”), this would have to be matched up with the right kind of high school/8th grade kid, most lkely a boy. I've matched it with one odd-duck (in the best way) 8th grade boy who liked it alright and one high school boy who really didn't connect with it at all. I can see why it won awards from adult reviewers, I just think it'll be a hard sell to the intended audience (actual teen readers), and the book trailer that was aiming for mysterious but landed on pointlessly absurd doesn't really help.
