Searching for Sky by Jillian Cantor

3.0

---

I wanted to like this book more than I did. Between Sky's attitude and fixation on River and Grandmother I wanted to slap them both. Mostly the Grandmother -

She really thought is was a good idea to give a bunch of cash to a kid (I know 18 but still a kid) who has lived on an island away from civilization since he was 4 and tell him to go away? The media was driving her nuts how did she expect River to handle it? And he is famous for helping his father poison his cult as a small child? Head in a sand a bit there. She also seamed more concerned about how Helmut might have abused Sky rather than helping her adjust. This all means I wanted to shake the grandmother even as I wanted Sky to stop fixating on River let go.

I just wish the adults in this story acted more like grown ups than they did.
