Wish You Well
“The girl was in the middle of a dream that disintegrated under the sudden clatter. Lou stepped to the window and looked out, seeing nothing at first. Then she spotted her caller and opened the window.
“What do you think you’re doing, Diamond Skinner?”
“Come get you,” said the boy, standing there next to his faithful hound.
“For what?”
In answer he pointed at the moon. It glowed more brightly than Lou had ever seen before. So fine was her view, she could see dark smudges on its surface.
“I can s...ee the moon all by myself, thank you very much,” she said.
Diamond smiled. “Naw, not just that. Fetch your brother. Come on, now, it be fun where we going. You see.”
Lou looked unsure. “How far is it?”
“Not fer. Ain’t scared of the dark, are ya?”
“Wait right there,” she said and shut the window.
In five minutes’ time Lou and Oz were fully dressed and had crept out of the farmhouse and joined Diamond and Jeb.
Lou yawned. “This better be good, Diamond, or you should be scared for waking us up.”MoreLess

Oh my God! This is one of the best books I've ever read. It was a hell of an emotional roller coaster, I loved every minute of it. Keep 'me coming Mr Baldacci !Write Review:
