AN INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES, USA TODAY AND INDIE BESTSELLER!
A spine-tingling standalone novel by #1 New York Times bestselling author TJ Klune―a supernatural road-trip thriller featuring an extraordinary young girl and her two unlikely protectors on the run from cultists and the government.
There's nothing more human than a broken heart.
In the spring of 1995, Nate Cartwright has lost everything: his parents are dead, his only brother wants nothing to do with him, and he's been fired from his job as a journalist in Washington, DC.
With nothing left to lose, he returns to his family's summer cabin outside the small mountain town of Roseland, Oregon, to try and find some sense of direction. The cabin should be empty. It's not.
Inside is a man named Alex. And with him is an extraordinary ten-year-old girl who calls herself Artemis Darth Vader. Artemis, who isn't exactly as she appears.
Soon it becomes clear that Nate must make a choice: let himself drown in the memories of his past, or fight for a future he never thought possible. Because the girl is special. And forces are descending upon them who want nothing more than to control her.

It may seem at times ohoh... but stay with it and you will glow with it's story lines, enjoy and wonder
Despite the action and violence, I consider this a cozy read. Poignant, lovely and I could not have picked this up at a more relevant time both personally and, on the larger scale state of the world. My first Klune book, but not that last ✨
Definitely worth reading. Very well written, interesting story. The only reason I'm not giving it 5 stars is because of how the interactions between characters is written. It van get confusing with all the "he saids" when two of the main characters are males.
Gift she loved
TJ Klune, once again, has made me laugh, cry and fall in love with unlikely characters who I will never forget. Like his other books, The Bones Beneath My Skin, takes the reader on a fantastical journey while exploring the very real emotions of the human heart. I loved this book!
