And boy, does this kid have a lot to hide from. Alternately, we follow Julian into the theater, into the fly area, over a gap, through some loose boards and into his hidden space. Robin Roe’s A List of Cages is a 2017 contemporary YA release that’s been on my radar all year, but I haven’t actually seen it anywherebookstores, libraries, etc. We follow Adam with his lively group of close friends.
He disappears at school, is never seen at lunch. Julian is still sweet, he writes stories like he used to-but he’s quiet now. In her debut, Roe tells the story of a friendship between two young men who will linger in the. Then two years later, Julian’s parents both die and Adam’s family fostered him. 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 hasnt seen in five years. Julian turns out to be the kid that Adam tutored in reading when he was ten and Julian was five. His elective is perfect-he’s the aide to the school psychologist in Robin Roe’s debut novel “A List of Cages” (Hyperion 2017).Īdam’s first assignment is to deliver the elusive freshman, Julian, to counseling. His Mom deals with his ADHD with homeopathic drops so he’s on no hard medications. Maybe he’s a little wired, but he’s lovable, affable, and he’s everyone’s friend. Affable Adam, a senior, appears to have a perfect life.
