from the back of the book:
No man is an island. But Jeff Green is trying hard. Jeff changed after his mother moved out. It was better that way. Better not to feel. Better not to care. No one seemed to notice anyway. Then, years later, his mother invited him to visit her. Melody was as warm & caring as he'd remembered. Or so he thought. And Jeff made a mistake. He started to open up, to trust. He'd forgotten about the pain. Now he can't remember anything else.
This book is a Newbery Medal Honor winner. I really enjoyed the character of Jeff as the book explores his feelings & his own desire to understand his feelings. I was a little unclear about some aspects of the ending and read the last two pages three times to try to clarify it. The book leaves room for a continuation of the story & I think there are more books in this series.
