When Adam becomes the new aide for the school psychologist in his senior year at school, the doctor asks him to track down a freshman who never turns up for his sessions. If you don’t know much about this book, it’s about two boys who used to be foster brothers. I am always so thrilled to find another favourite book and A List of Cages is one hundred percent that.Īs a firm believer of not giving any spoilers away whatsoever in my reviews, I will probably keep this review fairly short because it’s a book that is really hard to talk about in the way it deserves. I am just so grateful to Robin Roe for writing this and being able to share it with the world, with me. I thought to myself how I would love more than anything to be a writer who can make a reader feel so many things in 300 pages. As an aspiring writer, I had to stop reading several times during this book to consider the fact that someone wrote it, someone wrote these brilliant, touching words and strung them together in such an incredible, honest way. Though this may not be the first time I’ve been similarly astonished by a book being so perfect beyond my understanding of what perfect is (I do have a lot of favourite books, after all), A List of Cages has completely blown me away and I can’t think of a book that has moved me quite so much in recent years. I am astonished that a book as perfect as this exists. First-time novelist Robin Roe relied on life experience when writing this exquisite, gripping story featuring two lionhearted characters.~ I read this a month ago and wow, I can’t believe I didn’t read it sooner~
Adam is determined to help him, but his involvement could cost both boys their lives. But as they spend more time together, Adam realizes that Julian is keeping secrets, like where he hides during the middle of the day, and what's really going on inside his house. He still writes stories and loves picture books meant for little kids.
At first, Julian seems like the boy he once knew. Then the doctor asks him to track down the troubled freshman who keeps dodging her, and Adam discovers that the boy is Julian-the foster brother he hasn't seen in five years. Sure, it means a lot of sitting around, which isn't easy for a guy with ADHD, but he can't complain, since he gets to spend the period texting all his friends. When Adam Blake lands the best elective ever in his senior year, serving as an aide to the school psychologist, he thinks he's got it made.
