This book does an awesome job of giving a satisfying ending without wrapping everything up in a bow. The situations and emotions are complex and handled skillfully.

This was a really interesting, complicated, story that is part mystery, part adventure, and part family drama. The breadcrumb clues kept the story moving forward and the relationships along the way kept the mystery complicated.
On another level, this story can be disturbing for anyone trying to find out more about a family member. You never know what you may find out. So this may not be for everyone.
Enjoy - with a little bit of caution.

In the heart of young adult literature, a new coming-of-age story emerges, centered around family and the quest for identity. Clae, a spirited teenager, is on a mission to uncover the truth about her father, a man who vanished from her life as an infant. Her mother's reluctance to discuss him only fuels Clae's curiosity, leading her to unearth hints of a mysterious benefactor she whimsically dubs her 'fairy god-somebody.' As Clae delves deeper, she unravels a narrative that resonates with the trials and tribulations of middle school readers, capturing their hearts with every page turned.
