This book has a really intriguing premise. Intriguing enough that when I pulled it out of the Follett box it immediately jumped to the top of my TBR pile. And it started out with a bang! Six kindergartners go missing, and eleven years later, they all come back. Except for one. I was dying to know what happens! About a quarter of the way through, we were still going strong. The story is told in alternating points of view, and I enjoyed getting to hear each kid's story. It turns out, though, that we don't get all the kids' perspectives, and the rest are literally just spares. I couldn't figure out why they were even in the story at all. Did six just sound better than three? I kept going, because I held out hope that finding out what happened to Max would be worth it. It wasn't. The ending was rushed, and completely unbelievable.
