'''[[The Richard and Judy Book Club Autumn 2016]]'''
Janie is a single mother, living in New York with her pre-schooler Noah. It's just the two of them, so it's rather disconcerting when Noah screams out in the night, calling for his ''real mom'' and asking when he can go home. Night after night this happens. There's other things, too. He hates water and regularly goes to nursery stinky because his mother simply cannot get him in the bath. He has the odd bizarre turn of phrase that comes out, far beyond what one might expect for a child of his age. He knows certain things, too, without anyone understanding how he picked up this knowledge, whether it be the names of different reptiles or the plot of books he's never read.
Thanks go to the publishers for sending us this book to review. It will appeal to fans of some of the most prolific modern authors. It reminded me in many ways of [[Leaving Time by Jodi Picoult]], another book I enjoyed immensely.
