The Boy on the Bus
Author: Deborah Schupack
Meg Landry expected it to be a day like any other -- her asthmatic eight-year-old son would step off the bus, home from school.

A quick read. I just had to know what was going to happen to this family. I think that it ended up leaving me with more questions than answers, but it definitely got me thinking!

Really nice portrayal of a family lightly wound. No satisfying conclusion, but worth the read for the asthmatic child, and the disconnected mother descriptions.

Nice quick read. However, it has a twisted story line. Would love to see what others think of this book.

The story is a strange premise, but it definitely keeps you reading to find out if the boy who got off of the bus really is the main character's son!
