Bookroo's summary
Neil MacLeod, uprooted to Ottawa, struggles with his mother's silence about his father. A hidden clue and a new friend, Courtenay, lead him to a shocking family secret. Determined to uncover the truth, Neil embarks on a daring escape to his grandfather's horse farm in New Brunswick. As he navigates this journey, Neil learns that family and love are more complex than they appear. Will he find the answers he seeks, or will the truth change everything he knows?
From the publisher
Thirteen-year-old Neil MacLeod feels like a fish out of water: he’s trying to adjust to life in a new city, and his mother still refuses to tell him the truth about the father he’s never met. When he uncovers a shocking secret and the truth about his unconventional family sinks in, Neil decides to run away, all the way to his grandfather’s horse farm on the east coast. A sensitive and moving story about growing up, The Disappearing Boy teaches us that every family is different, and love is never as simple as it seems.
