In This Way I Was Saved
304 pages; Simon & Schuster
It's rare that a rollicking good read is executed this eloquently. The novel involves a 6-year-old boy in New York City whose imaginary friend (though, spoiler alert, his imaginary-ness is up for debate) turns against him. Even as the story delivers on a nail-biting, page-turning level, it manages also to be a tender depiction of childhood and a moving portrait of a family in crisis.
