YA
Thanks to an uncanny likeness, sixteen-year-old runaway orphan Chap assumes the identity of missing teenager Cassiel Roadnight and gains a seemingly loving family in the process. A dangerous game of cat-and-mouse ensues as Chap uncovers the family's secrets. Valentine has carefully crafted Chap's first-person narration in a complex psychological thrill-ride full of betrayal, loss, and ultimately redemption.
