Bone Gap
National Book Award Finalist * Printz Award Winner for Best Young Adult Book of the Year
"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.
