     January 4, 2016
     Mitchard’s (The Deep End of the Ocean) latest combines elements of science fiction and suspense with a heartfelt meditation on family and grief, to mixed results. When a tsunami devastates the Australian coast, Frank Mercy loses his pregnant wife and her entire extended family in the span of a few moments. Bottling up his grief, he reports for duty as a first responder and pulls a three-year-old boy named Ian from a half-submerged van. Frank feels strangely compelled to take him under his wing, and the pair flee Brisbane for Frank’s family’s horse farm in Wisconsin. It’s soon apparent that Ian is special: he can speak to animals in a way that calms even the most skittish horses, and he can convince people to do whatever he wants (which, since he’s three, generally means buying him sweets and toys). As Frank and Ian’s bond becomes stronger, both begin to heal, but just as they become comfortable, figures from Ian’s past catch up to him, and his mysterious origins become clearer, as does the danger he’s in. Mitchard’s usual strong characters and emotionally resonant prose are evident here, but a few predictable twists and a shoehorned-in love interest drag things down. This won’t grab new readers, and longtime fans may feel frustrated by the change of style and pace. Agent: Jane Gelfman, Gelfman Schneider.

   • content: Narrator George Newbern's performance of this riveting thriller is simply spellbinding. On Christmas Eve, American Frank Mercy, who is living in Australia with his pregnant wife, watches in horror from high ground as a tsunami sweeps away his family. Heroically assisting in the rescue efforts, he saves a boy from a sinking minivan only to find he can't abandon the child to the authorities. But the boy is more than he seems, and there are ruthless people looking for him who will stop at nothing to get him back. Newbern masterfully portrays the Australian characters, the young children, and Frank's American mother and friends, pulling listeners into this gut-wrenching story of second chances. This listening experience is not to be missed. A.C.P. Winner of AudioFile Earphones Award © AudioFile 2016, Portland, Maine
