The first part of a trilogy marketed for young adult readers, this story is set in a town of all men, where everyone can hear each others thoughts, and dogs can communicate with people. Todd Hewitt is about to turn thirteen when his life is turned upside down; he's forced to flee the only home he's known, following a map to a place he's not sure exists. The true nature of the town and answers to its many secrets are expertly and slowly revealed by Ness as Todd is pursued by its leaders, and the story is well paced. Don't be deceived --- this book is relevant to adults as well as young adults, and should appeal to a wide audience. It deals with loss, coming of age, love, and hope in a well-crafted manner which is easy to read. The American edition will be out this fall, but you can get the UK edition now. Highly recommended!
