YATwelve-Fingered Boy Trilogy series.
When the mysterious Quincrux and his witchy counterpart Ilsa begin stalking boys'-home residents Shreve and Jack, twelve-fingered Jack's special powers are called upon. As the fugitives wander from state to state, the narrative also meanders, but readers will enjoy this trilogy debut, a wild and riveting tale full of allusions to fairy tales, movies, and comic book heroes.
