YA
When fourteen-year-old Oscar disappears and his bike is found in the ocean, almost everyone assumes he committed suicide. His best friend Meg, refusing to believe it, struggles to discover what happened to her sweet, optimistic friend after she moved away from Ireland to New Zealand. Melodic prose and well-defined characters keep the pages turning through the satisfying plot's many turns.
