Boy 7 by Mirjam Mous
3.0
A boy wakes up in the middle of nowhere. He can't remember who he is, where he's from or why he's there. He has a backpack with a couple of items, including a cell phone. There's a voicemail waiting for him. It tells him not to call the cops, and the voice of the caller is his own.
This book follows Boy Seven (as he calls himself) and his journey towards discovering who he is and why he can't remember anything. Overall a pretty entertaining read. The pacing was a bit slow towards the middle; you find out a lot but the way the information is delivered is pretty monotone. There are attempts to impart some sense of urgency while you're reading through this part but they fall a bit flat.
Even though the characters are in their teens I'm not sure I'd describe it as YA. It reads more like middle grade to me.
