Bone Gap is a town where things go missing. So no one is overly surprised when Roza disappears but Finn knows this time is different. He knows Roza was kidnapped by someone dangerous. Someone he saw, but whose face he can't remember... This title is intended for teens, however, it may contain language or themes that some readers may find offensive.

Enjoy our presentation of Bone Gap written by Laura Ruby and published by Balzer + Bray. Everyone knows Bone Gap is full of gaps—gaps to trip you up, gaps to slide through so you can disappear forever. So when young, beautiful Roza vanishes... well, it isn't the first time that someone has slipped away and left Finn and Sean O'Sullivan on their own. But Finn knows Roza didn't just leave. She was kidnapped, ripped from the cornfields by a dangerous man whose face Finn cannot remember. But the searches turned up nothing, and no one believes him. Can Finn find Roza and prove there's more to him, and this town, than meets the eye?Bone Gap was awarded the 2016 Michael L. Printz Award and was a National Book Award Finalist in 2015. Bone Gap is recommended for ages 14+ for violence, language and implied sexual content.

We talked to Ruby about what shaped her as a writer and her new book — recently named as a finalist for the National Book Award for Young People's Literature.

This week the Snark Ladies are still trying to figure out how to podcast as we discuss Laura Ruby's Greek mythology inspired YA novel Bone Gap. Also we have a lot of feelings about the corn. theme music by Stefan Chin: http://www.twitter.com/pilocrates Find us on Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/Snark_Squad http://www.twitter.com/SweeneySays http://www.twitter.com/mynameismarines http://www.snarksquad.com

In this episode we salvage an old discussion of The Leaving by Tara Altebrando. (Don't worry, it sounds totally natural—and theme appropriate— when Kim and Molly suddenly disappear during our Random Comments from the Internet segment, are replaced by Katie, and then suddenly reappear for Read-a-likes. Don't worry; they were not kidnapped, and their memories were not erased by morally flexible scientists.) Kim suggests We Were Liars by E. Lockhart. Nate suggests The Dead Zone by Stephen King. (Then after the end credits roll, Nate also suggests the film I Know What You Did Last Summer, the actor Ryan Phillipe, and the alternative rock band Bush.) Nathan suggests Bone Gap by Laura Ruby. Lindsey suggests Emmy and Oliver by Laura Benway and Picture Me Gone by Meg Rosoff. Cash Money suggests the television program The Leftovers. Molly suggests The Cellar by Natasha Preston and The Bunker Diaries by Kevin Brooks. We've included a clip of LilyCReads' review of The Leaving in our Random Comments from the Internet segment (hope that's cool, Lily).
