He’ll Read This Too!
Tuesday, January 26th, 2010
Last May we reviewed the first book in Andrew Klavan’s “Homelanders” suspense 
series for teens, The Last Thing I Remember. Our main point was, if you have a teen who’s not that into reading, this might be your entree.
The second book in the series, The Long Way Home, has just been released and it doesn’t disappoint. Charlie West is an 18-year-old fugitive with a one year gap in his memory during which time he is supposed to have murdered his ex-best friend, escaped from prison, then from a domestic terrorist organization, the Homelanders. In this installment Charlie returns to his hometown to sleuth out what really happened. He teams up with his old high-school buddies and the cute girl who claims they fell in love during the missing year. Along the way he grapples with issues of right and wrong, human nature, and what is really real.
Andrew Klavan was an award-winning author of adult crime novels before converting to Christianity. He brings to his young adult stories a high level of craft not usually seen in this genre. That is why we are confident that your teenager will read - and enjoy - this series.
