3.0

It was an okay read. Ursa was an odd child (alien?), and how she wrapped Jo and Gabe around her fingers was strange. Including the behaviors of the police force in rural Illinois, how they just warned Jo not to entertain the child but made no effort to search for a runaway kid, even when the surrounding forests were not exactly child-friendly. Were the quarks a real deal?
The story follows two neighbors harboring a homeless runaway child while some positive changes happen in the life of the people around. As the story progresses, one comes back to the question: Is the child trying to get over a trauma, or is it an alien?
