I realize it is only March but I am declaring this the "Book of the Year." I was so excited about this book coming out and it didn't disappoint me. I liked it so much that I kept re-reading parts of the book because I didn't want to put it down, but I also didn't want it to be over. It is that good.
RATING: 5/5
SPOILERS FOLLOW
The hero of the story is a young boy whose father was killed on September 11. The child seems to have obsessive compulsive disorder. It also appears to be hereditary. He was having a lot of trouble dealing with his father's death and was having trouble mourning for him. When looking through his father's things he finds a key inside a vase and an envelope. He then becomes obsessed with finding the lock that the key opens. From there it's adventure.
