Dead to You
By: Lisa McMann

This story is about a boy named Ethan DeWilde, who was abducted from his front yard when he was 7 years old and goes back home, 9 years later. He returns to his mother, father, younger brother and younger sister. Blake, who is 13, remembers all of it. He remembers when Ethan ran up to the abductors car and climbed in. He meets a girl, she becomes his girlfriend, and his mom forces him to go to high school, to make it worse. Stuck in a 2nd grade mentality age, He doesn’t know much, only to fend for his life on the streets with his kidnapper. He gets humiliated and school because of it, he gets too much attention, and his brother, Blake, thinks he’s not real. Just when he thinks it’s all going smooth, he ruins it. Blake is in a desperate state and is trying to convince his parents that this boy is not Ethan. Lines are crossed between the brothers and they don’t get along well. Anyways, it’s a very good book and stuff and I highly recommend it. I like this book because it has lots of twists and turns and because it tells everyone’s perspective on the kidnapping, including the students. The end.
