The author's first book won the Newbery a few years ago, and this one wins Printz Honor 1/27/14. Mixed reviews among my goodreads friends.

Some suspension of disbelief needed, but enjoyable regardless. I liked her previous one better, but will recommend this one without reservations.
A book full of heart--lots of threads in the story, with orphaned protagonist Jack Baker and his new friend, Early Auden, finding family, heart and adventure in the Maine woods. Magical realism at times, mixed with mathematics and history. My head's so full of this right now, I'm not sure if I'm revelling in the big mix or a little bewildered at how the ends got tied together. I'm going to have to think about this one for a while and do some writing about it.

Similar to Moon Over Manifest, the story weaves together several seemingly random elements into one moving finale. I honestly wasn't sure who some of the mysterious figures were until the end. Early himself was a great character, filled with secrets, quirks and emotional depth. I think I liked Manifest better, but that's probably because it contains far more female characters with whom I can relate. This book was more male oriented.

I just could not get into this book. I really liked Moon Over Manifest, and I wanted to like this one as well. There were too many coincidences when the story all wrapped up, yet somehow though it should have been a happy ending, it didn't feel like one. My review is as jumbled as I felt this book was. Sorry.
