Looking for Red
Twelve-year-old Mike -- short for Michaela -- loves the ocean. The sights, sounds, and smells of her coastal home are embedded in her very soul.
But Michaela loves her brother, Red, even more.
Then one day Red disappears. One minute he's there, the next...gone. No warning. No time to prepare. And Mike must come to terms with that loss or risk never finding comfort in what remains of the life she and her brother once shared.

Removed my bio because this place is tanking. Find me in better places! Same name. She/Her
LOOKING FOR RECS: I'm aching for some grounded fantasy/sci-fi. I read a book from the library I thought would scratch that itch and it did NOT. Some of my FAVS are: Neverwhere, Through Violet Eyes, 1984, Kendra Donovan Series, Dresden Files, etc. Any book recs in those lines?
Praise for this book
Booklist Johnson's latest novel -- part mystery, part ghost story, and part coming-of-age narrative -- is chilling and heartbreaking....In beautiful prose, the narrative moves fluidly from flashbacks to the present, and the stages of grief are represented in startling but realistic ways.
Publishers Weekly Those mourning a loss are likely to find Mike's incisive observations familiar and comforting.
