Notes

Summary: Riley James wishes his secret crush Dylan liked him back. He wishes the local detective would stop asking awkward questions. More than anything he wishes his mother would come home before he becomes the prime suspect in her diasppearance. This middle-grade mystery is perfect for fans of Time-Travelling with a Hamster and The Goldfish Boy with shades of A Monster Calls. It's at once heartbreaking and hopeful, sensitively exploring grief, trauma and homophobia. (Back cover)
