June Bug
From the best-selling author of War Room comes a Christy Award finalist, now a Lifetime original movie called Child of Grace .
“I believed everything my daddy told me until I walked into Wal-Mart and saw my picture on a little poster . . .” For as long as she can remember, June Bug and her father have traveled the back roads of the country in their beat-up RV, spending many nights parked at Wal-Mart. One morning, as she walks past the greeter at the front of the store, her eyes are drawn to the pictures of missing children, where she is shocked to see herself. This discovery begins a quest for the truth about her father, the mother he rarely speaks about, and ultimately herself. But when her father’s past catches up with them, forces beyond his control draw them back to Dogwood, West Virginia, down a winding path that will change their lives forever.

Borrowed this book free from Amazon. It was a pretty good story - I really didn't know at first if her "daddy" was a good guy or bad guy. The ending was a bit too cliche & tidy, not to mention unrealistic.
My biggest complaint was that about halfway through, it became apparent that this is "Christian fiction." I just want to read a good book, not be preached too. And it was a bit odd, since at the beginning there was only passing mention of Jesus in direct relation to 1 specific character; then all of a sudden there were 2 or 3 chapters with several mentions of strong Christian faith & values.
There was also mention of a man "falling into a bad lifestyle" and dying of a disease. While the author didn't specify whether this comment was about his homosexuality or his promiscuity (it was written that he had "many lovers") I definitely got the impression that this comment was about his sexual orientation rather than his actual behaviors. Not OK with me, and definitely lowered my opinion of this author & this novel.

I've owned this book for a year. Why was I an idiot to wait so long?
I think I've discovered Chris Fabry's biggest strength. He does a brilliant job of writing the hard things with such authenticity that you applaud when everything isn't tied up in a shiny bow. Yes, all loose ends are wrapped up, and yet, only as much as realistic writing can allow.
June Bug is a hard story--it asks and answers questions, but not always the same ones. In the end, you have a story that will keep you turning pages, hoping for the impossible, and satisfied when the impossible doesn't happen--even as it does.

This really is a true Love story between June Bug (Natalie), her Grandmother who never gives up hope that Natalie is alive and God will answer her prayers, and her Father, John Johnson.
We never know what the Good Lord has ahead for any of us, which comes out very strongly in this book.
It also shows us once again what drug addiction and alcohol addiction does to us.

Wonderful story. I definitely needed kleenex to mop up a few tears at the end of this one !
Well written.
Unusual in that so much of the story is told from the perspective of a nine year old girl.
RV life, WalMart, family shine through this story.

As a story on its own, June Bug is charming, sweet, and colorful. The characters are intriguing, though Fabry occasionally bunny trails in to unnecessary details of some of the minor characters' back stories in a manner that's confusing. But the prose is lovely, and the details paint an excellent picture of America.
Taking this as Les Miserables retelling, however, it falls WAY short. The important themes of oppression, futile revolution, and eternal grace are completely missing. In fact, the only ones stricken by poverty and want in Fabry's book are those who, apparently, deserve it. Also, the core motivations of the key characters are twisted, if not reversed entirely, and the only "mercy" is seemingly earned only shortly later in the novel's timeline. Victor Hugo would be turning over in his grave to see his epic anthem of redemption for the wretched turned into a modern politically conservative piece written and read in a country that simply refuses to understand what poverty, oppression, and the face-and-hope-crushing violence of corruption mean to those on the bottom of the social ladder in other parts of the world. Fabry may have borrowed some plot points from Hugo, but he did his work, and his message, no justice at all.
The most heart-breaking thing about it is that Les Miserables was written to shine the light of Jesus' Gospel into the seemingly hopeless darkness of an oppressive social context. If June Bug's behavior-based-"grace" ideology is indicative of the modern American church's idea of the Gospel... God help us all.

I want to meet Lil' Miss June Bug... what a sweet story!!!

I had never read a book by Chris Fabry before, but this book was on my "to read" list from the second I read the blurb. The thought of a child seeing her picture on a "Missing" board in Wal-Mart messed with my mind.
More times than not when I want to read a book really bad but don't get to it for a while, I'm let down. I guess I build it up to much in my head. I expect it to be amazing and most times they fall short of that.
This wasn't one of those books. It was everything I was wanting it to be and then some. June Bug and her father were amazing characters and I loved them from the first few pages. There were a few things that happened in the book that made it so different than anything I've ever read before and I didn't want to put it down. In fact, I stayed up until 4 in the morning the first night and then still didn't want to stop reading.
I was happy enough with the way the book ended, but just wish I was given more info on one specific thing that I keep thinking about. Other than that, this book was fantastic. It's high on my list of all time favorites, and Chris Fabry is now one of my favorite authors.

I love and hate when I read a book this good. I love it so much because the characters warm my heart heart, the storyline is so very unique, the love in it made me laugh, cry and nearly broke heart, but I soooooo hated that it ended.
Oh what a lovely book. I don't want to give away a single sentence of this it. Anyone wanting to read it would miss out on the opportunity of discovering this gem all by themselves.
But for my memory's sake I add a synopsis for most of the books I read. Please don't read it! You will want to savor everything about this book without knowing anything first. Just know, it's marvelous. I will say, all the parts about Walmart just made me smile. It's all through the book, but I don't think it's made to promote the store. Just a fun addition.
Synopsis/spoiler...
The last few chapters were amazing! I rarely reread books, but if I had to choose one, this is the one I’d read again.
Not a romance, but a gripping human interest story.

I have literally wanted to read this book for years and was so excited when I found it at the library. The premiss has SO much promise and so I was sadly disappointed with the way the book actually unfolded.
Things I liked:
*The parts June Bug narrated. Seriously, if she would have told the whole book it would have been at least four, maybe even five stars. The author really captured the voice of a smart, little girl and her curiosity about the world and full faith in her dad. Her way of describing stuff was whimsical and beautiful.
*The whole idea of seeing yourself on the "Missing Child" board at Wal-Mart. Woah. What a novel (haha) idea for a book! Really, that's one of the most brilliant concepts for a story I've ever read.
*The book was interesting and I wanted to find out what happened next.
Things I didn't like:
*Nearly everyone else's turns at narrating. Not only did I feel like they dragged, but a lot of the people were rather morbid, dwelling on all the bad things that had happened in their lives... Um, no thank you! I ended up majorly skim-reading nearly everyone's narrations besides June Bugs and really think the book would have been better off without them.
*People kept telling the one guy that basically, he was good even though he had done some bad things. Really? Yes, he pretty much got back on track, but in reality, he did stuff he shouldn't have done, so....
*The ending wasn't realistic and it wasn't satisfying and I had a whole boatload of issues with it.
*I get that June Bug is trusting, but she's also extremely inquisitive and there were several times she let her questions drop when I really think (because of her personality) that she would have continued pestering. That, therefore, didn't feel realistic. It felt like the author was giving himself an easy way out so that the book could drag on longer.
*There wer several other unrealistic things that happened.
I'm giving the book 3 out of 5 stars, 4 out of 10.

This one had me in tears, so it definitely engaged my emotions. June Bug is a story that focuses on a little girl and her daddy, John. They have been living on the road in an RV for years. One day June Bug sees her face on a missing children's poster in Walmart and all of a sudden her questions about who her mama is take on new meaning. She starts wondering... The story follows the two of them on their journey home to find closure and new beginnings. The narrative is mostly written from June Bug's perspective, but it does switch to other characters along the way. June Bug is an endearing and inquisitive little girl, and I enjoyed her voice.
I actually really liked the ties to Les Miserables, although I would not describe it as a retelling exactly. The flashbacks added beautifully to both the story and the character development. I also enjoyed Fabry's use of language. At one point I read a paragraph out loud to my husband stating that it sounded like the narration of a movie (in a good way). It is written in a way that I could hear it while I was reading it. I liked it, and I would recommend it to others.

Chris Fabry outdid himself when creating June Bug. This lively, lovely child is the center of the story. The unexpected direction the story takes kept me fully engaged. There is a spiritual theme that runs throughout the book.

June Bug by Chris Fabry is an excellent novel. I thoroughly enjoyed it and glad that I read it.
The characters are so life like and you can really live the story through them. I really came to love
June Bug and her “Dad”. Usually I don’t care for books that are told through the eyes of a child/young person. To me it seems to be lacking something, but with June Bug it wasn’t that way. June Bug was not only told through a young girl, but also others.
June Bug talks about Walmart and WV which are close to me so it really is a down to earth type of read. Don’t get me wrong there is also lots of adventure and family tradgies that add so much to the book.
When you read this book you will feel fulfilled and hopeful. It has a wonderful, but sort of sad ending. I guess you could say happy and sad together. Very highly recommended. You will be glad you read this book.

Chris Fabry is a nice change of pace from typical syrupy Christian fiction. Natalie Edwards is nine years old and sees her face plastered on a missing children poster at Walmart. Is John her father? And where in the heck is her mother?
Some parts of this novel were implausible and the Christianity seemed tacked on more often than not, but (unlike most CF) the characters were likable and believable. I am glad I gave this author a try. Fabry is a darn good story teller.
(And if you are wondering why I'm saying heck and darn, it's how you'd be talking too if you'd just finished this book.)

This is one of my favourite fiction books. I have read the print version before, but this time I enjoyed it via audio, read by the author. An important and endearing read with high stakes, lots of secrets, and an unexpected but satisfying ending. I'm always drawn into Fabry's stories, made memorable by his skill at creating real people who remain in the reader's life experience. Early on in the story, the reader is tempted to form opinions on the characters, but they almost all prove false. A complex combination of page-turner and promise of positive outcome.

A very detailed book about deceit, trickery, love, and second chances. The author spent a lot of time developing each character in the book.

June Bug surprised me. I spotted this book on the "new" bookshelf at my library and grabbed it on a whim. I'd never read anything by this author, though I'm definitely going to look for his other books. This is the story of a young girl who discovers her photo on the missing persons board at Walmart. It describes her experiences in trying to find out who she really is as well as her adopted father's thoughts and feelings as he tries to raise his daughter by himself. The writing was great and I felt the author had an authentic voice for June Bug. What was even more shocking was how the ending, the events around John's adoption of June Bug, came as a complete surprise! Normally Christian fiction is very formulaic but this book was a breath of fresh air.
My only complaint is that I wish there had been just one more chapter. I wanted to know what happened next!

I would give this book 3.5 stars if I could. Although there were some basic similarities to Les Miserables, I think it was stretching it to call it a modern retelling. I was prepared to love this book, based on a friend's recommendation, but it just didn't quite do it for me. Call me "old school," but I don't think it's necessary to talk about people "peeing." There were other similar things that I would put as "crude" descriptions. I also didn't like the ending. But it was an enjoyable read, with an unusual plot.
December 3, 2009
I was curious about the teaser on the cover describing the book as a "modern retelling of Les Miserables". To be honest, I saw a few parallels but the big connection the author apparently had was lost on me. The story follows a nine-year-old girl who lives on the road out of an RV with her dad. A mystery unfolds after she discovers an age progression photo of herself on a missing child poster hanging in a Walmart. I liked the book, but it is no Le Mis.

This is a beautiful, but sad story about the love between a father and his daughter. I enjoyed reading this story.
Een mooi geschreven boek over de liefde tussen vader en dochter. Het boek is goed opgebouwd en volgt 2 verhaallijnen, deze van vader en kind en daarnaast de verhaallijn van grootouders op zoek naar hun vermist kleinkind. Het blijft interessant om het verhaal te volgen al is het wel een heel trieste achtergrond.
Zeker 4 sterren waard.

Fabulous book with amazingly real characters. Much of this story is told from the point of view of a 9-year-old girl. There were many times I forgot a man old enough to have 9 kids wrote it. A stunningly deep storyline. Loved it.

This was my first Chris Fabry book and it won't be my last.
I enjoyed the story of June Bug.
After reading the back I wasn't sure if I was going to like it but it sucked me in right away. The relationship between June Bug and her 'dad' was what every little girls dream of.

Excellent book. A 9 year old child sees her face on the missing child poster in the Walmart and she starts questioning her life and her father. But all is not as it seems at first. A complex story.

4.7 if all missing children’s Life’s turned out this way. It was a good book and I enjoyed reading it.
“I believed everything my daddy told me until I walked into Wal-Mart and saw my picture on a little poster . . .” For as long as she can remember, June Bug and her father have traveled the back roads of the country in their beat-up RV, spending many nights parked at Wal-Mart. One morning, as she walks past the greeter at the front of the store, her eyes are drawn to the pictures of missing children, where she is shocked to see herself. This discovery begins a quest for the truth about her father, the mother he rarely speaks about, and ultimately herself. But when her father’s past catches up with them, forces beyond his control draw them back to Dogwood, West Virginia, down a winding path that will change their lives forever.

I don’t understand the amount of high ratings. This was a head scratcher.
The back of the book sounded interesting, it reminded me of Face on the Milk Carton. The story itself was tedious and unbelievable. If a child, thought to be kidnapped, shows up 8 years later how is there not a court case, arrests, or even counseling? I only finished this because I wanted closure. I’m annoyed that I gave up 3 hours of my life to read it.

Are you intrigued by unsolved mysteries? Have you ever wanted to track down a criminal? "June Bug" by Chris Fabry is an intense, thought-provoking, mystery-filled novel that satisfies a reader's desire to figure out a mystery on his or her own. The language in this book is easy to think about and not straining. "June Bug" is told from a first person point of view of a little girl, and the reader gets to see the world through her eyes. She is intelligent, however still young, so the reader only understands as much as she does. She's able to figure out parts of the mystery she is involved in, however cannot decipher it -- which is left up to the reader to figure out on based on what the little girl experiences. I enjoyed the aspect of only knowing what the narrator knows because it puts the book in a situation that feels very realistic to the reader. The story is mostly in the point of view of the little girl, but it also switches to the point of view of a detective/police officer midway through the story to reveal more that the little girl does not know. The aspect i enjoyed most of this book was the character development. The story begins almost abruptly, and give impressions of characters that seem false, due to the story being a mystery, but are actually very true and the reader realizes that later on. Each character's personality is originally very vague, but is quickly developed as events quickly happen. The story is very unpredictable, and leads the reader on the wrong paths when they are figuring out the mystery. The deep character development was also easy to follow along due to very few main characters introduced. Deep character development is difficult to follow along when there are endless characters constantly being introduced throughout the book. "June Bug" is one of my favorite mysteries that I have read, and I think all the aspects of the book fit together well.

What a good story! Interesting from beginning to end. The book was hard to put down! John was such a nice person, and turned out he was a wonderful father…..
