OLDER FICTION
Jacobs, John Hornor

The Shibboleth

(3) YA Twelve-Fingered Boy Trilogy series. Polydactyl hero Shreve, now sixteen, escapes from Tulaville Psychiatric Hospital to seek Hiram Quincrux--the monster behind an insomnia epidemic causing mayhem in the U.S.--and pit his own "extranatural" powers, his shibboleth, against Quincrux's. The sheer weirdness of it all will captivate readers and involve them in a memorable second installment that nicely sets up what's sure to be a dramatic conclusion.
