A heart-warming adventure starring a non-binary six-grader and written by a debut non-binary author on the rise

Sometime in the last day or so, ever since Joel Gallagher disappeared, I became a liar.

Aubrey and Joel are like two tomato vines growing along the same crooked fence-weird, yet the same kind of weird. Then Joel disappears. Vanishes. Poof. And Aubrey was the last person to see him.

The whole town is looking for Joel, but Aubrey realises they might be the only one who knows how to find him. As Aubrey, their sister, Teagan, and another friend, Mari, search along the river, will they find themselves along the way?

From Lin Thompson comes a powerful debut that will invite readers to unearth the truth beneath all the lies.
