Interpretation Supposing Books The Last Child ( Johnny Merrimon #1)

Thirteen year-old Johnny Merrimon had the perfect life: a warm home and loving parents; a twin sister, Alyssa, with whom he shared an irreplaceable bond. He knew nothing of loss, until the day Alyssa vanished from the side of a lonely street. Now, a year later, Johnny finds himself isolated and alone, failed by the people he'd been taught since birth to trust. No one else believes that Alyssa is still alive, but Johnny is certain that she is—confident in a way that he can never fully explain.

Determined to find his sister, Johnny risks everything to explore the dark side of his hometown. It is a desperate, terrifying search, but Johnny is not as alone as he might think. Detective Clyde Hunt has never stopped looking for Alyssa either, and he has a soft spot for Johnny. He watches over the boy and tries to keep him safe, but when Johnny uncovers a dangerous lead and vows to follow it, Hunt has no choice but to intervene.

Then a second child goes missing...

Undeterred by Hunt's threats or his mother's pleas, Johnny enlists the help of his last friend, and together they plunge into the wild, to a forgotten place with a history of violence that goes back more than a hundred years. There, they meet a giant of a man, an escaped convict on his own tragic quest. What they learn from him will shatter every notion Johnny had about the fate of his sister; it will lead them to another far place, to a truth that will test both boys to the limit.

Traveling the wilderness between innocence and hard wisdom, between hopelessness and faith, The Last Child leaves all categories behind and establishes John Hart as a writer of unique power.

Read THE CHILD so long ago when it was first published and STILL remember a good portion of it.Loved it and John Hart's storytelling expertise!

So many of my Goodreads friends have read, and loved, this novel. I have finally been able to find out why for myself.This book drew me in from the very start. There is a large cast of characters in this novel, yet each is woven into the story in perfect timing so it is easy to keep track. Even more, we discover aspects of each characters personality and psychological makeup that make them real and multi-dimensional. We are quickly drawn into their lives and even their backgrounds in an

3.75★This was my suspend reality read for the month. You know when the words mystery and thriller are used in the same sentence to describe a book, there is going to be too much coincidence and unbelievable thriller stuff happening to characters. But that is why books like this are written and read. Not to be taken too seriously. But not as intelligent as I was hoping it would be. Reality aside, factual details should still count. Example: Johnny's mother could not be coming off drug addiction

Wow!! Simply WOW!! I officially love this author!! Everything came to a full circle. The author taps into very strong subjects but he manages to be subtle and refined, without having to be crude or detailed to get the message across. I loved his latest work, Redemption Road, and in my opinion this book superseded that one and it was a five star read as well.

*4.5 stars*It didnt take much for John Hart to convince me, I was about to embark on an incredible journeyand by not much, I mean a mere chapter or two. Now, I dont know about you, but in my book, thats the sign of an impressive writerone who manages to catch me with only a teeny tiny taste.Even with the frenzy-inducing suspense, the hefty list of questionable characters and the constant probing of the facts this storyline incites, The Last Child reads more like literary fiction than anything
