Three siblings find an injured boy while walking home from school. He has been stabbed and left to die, which would have likely been the result had they not found him. Now the three have different ideas. Matthew is tied up in trying to find the assailant. Zoe has a new life view and grows up quickly. Duncan starts to question his own origin story, he is adopted and becomes interested in finding his birth mother. The family at the center of this story is solid and admirable but everyone has their own things going on and a few secrets. I really enjoyed watching the kids grow and change after saving a life. Maybe all of their progress would have happened anyway but the event is surely a starting point for their change. On top of the interesting story and insights is the wonderful writing. Livesey says a lot in a few words. You really get the feeling like you know these people.
