This book has been the best book I've read so far in 2017! It has a great central story about how tragedy can change a person but the twists & turns of the subplots wouldn't let me put this one down. I also enjoyed seeing a MG novel with a strong yet sensitive male main character.

Perfect for middle grade readers! Readers who loved Swing Sideways, The Thing about Jelly & Just My Luck will be drawn to Ethan's story! I'm a fifth grade teacher & immediately added this title to my Mock Newbery 2018 reading list! It's that good!

I absolutely love this book! Even though it is listed as a young reader book, I found it a great read and moments that reminded me of my own childhood. Couple of good cries near the end also.
This is a wonderful realistic fiction story of loss, friendship, mistakes, and forgiveness. It is a multilayered story with several memorable subplots and secondary characters. Fantastic story with hints of mystery, adventure and emotion. Great debut novel!
This was an emotional and engaging read, perfect for all ages! When it arrived I immediately gave it to my 12-year old who read it in three days and then kept re-reading it. Once I read it, I understood why. It's great for middle-school as the chapters are short and there is a lot of hip and relevant kid humor. At the same time, it gets kids and adults to think about significant and important issues--family, death, friendship, and forgiveness. I would definitely recommend it and cannot wait for her next effort!
This book was in my son’s summer reading list...and am I glad that it was. ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!! This is one of the best books that I have read in years. My son actually wanted to read longer than I actually make him for the first time ever. I look forward to more books by Ali Standish.
I couldn't put this book down, was hooked from the very first sentence. At times though I wondered whether there was a bit too much going on - the tragedy that struck Ethan's life, the family's move, the strained relationship between the family and the grandfather, a new friend's questionable stories, the mysterious haunted house, and, and, and. But then, that's what kept me turning page after page and I think it will also keep young readers engaged, especially as clues are released regularly, problems resolved gradually.
Ethan's best friend Kasey was in a tragic accident and it was all Ethan's fault. In that moment, Ethan was changed forever. Can Ethan move on? Can Ethan ever get his care-free life back?

Wow. Words cannot describe how much I enjoyed this book. I could not put it down. The characters were real, flawed, and struggling to deal with their own demons. When Ethan meets the many colorful characters in his new town, I love how Ethan learns from them and learns how to forgive himself. This is a must-read book for grades four and up. Do not let this one sit on your TBR pile for long!

Ethan thought, "I knew I had to try one more time. I waited for my chance, for the opportunity when Mom and Dad would leave me home with just Roddie. And then I ran again."

Ethan is moving to Palm Knot because he hurt his friend so badly that a machine is keeping her alive. After the accident, he feels guilty all the time. Then he meets a new friend, Coralee. After he meets Coralee, the guilt starts going away.

I loved this book because it was full of adventure. It gets really exciting when Ethan and Coralee see something they don't understand and can't explain. Their adventures take place as they try and solve the mystery. I give this book five stars. I think everybody in grade three through five should read this book.
