silquesoleil 's review for:
Bone Gap
by Laura Ruby
This was a good, solid read. Nicely plotted although very rarely I found myself confused if something was taking place in the present or still in the backstory/memory. There was but a single element out of place and that was the goat. Why the goat?
Our protagonist keeps picking up animal sidekicks and the goat was wholly without purpose except for one somewhat funny scene. I would have liked a little more Petey in there and a little more bees. I would have also liked the MC to be (explicitly) autistic, but it turns out there was another reason why he struggles with eye contact.
That being said, I am aware that most readers will probably not feel very strongly about the concept of bees in their YA, so I will not hold it against the novel.
