The Leaving by Tara Altebrando. Bloomsbury, 2016. Young Adult. Fiction.
It's been eleven years since six kindergarteners went missing. Suddenly, five of them return, but with no memories of what has happened to them in those years. Someone finds he knows how to load a gun. Someone remembers a carousel horse. Someone can use a camera well. What happened to these kids and why have they come back now? Do they just start high school now? And, the biggest mystery for one family: where is the sixth child? What makes a person real if there are few memories stored up? Told in a series of fifteen days after they appear, readers learn of the families and their struggles to both remember and forget, to move on and live their lives. It's a mysterious, twisting tale of friends, families, trying to remember the past and trying find a future in a landscape of "What ifs".
