June Bug by Chris Fabry

5.0

Accustomed to living out of an RV and camping out in Wal-Mart parking lots, June Johnson is just a little surprised to find her face on a missing child poster. All of a sudden confronted with the reality that she is likely not June Bug, but Natalie Anne Edwards - that her birthday is not April 9, and maybe her dad is not her dad - June tries to unearth the truth in this coming-of-age meets mystery novel in the form of inspirational fiction.

June Bug is the kind of book you can't put down. With narration coming from June's first-person perspective and a third-person omniscient narrator, the stories are pieced together little by little. A grandmother still searching for her long-lost grandchild - or at least some closure. A police officer pursuing the truth. A man with a past and a child he loves. A single woman in need of a family.

Fabry pushes the story forward with both elegant descriptions and June's childish jabber. His tale is intriguing, wonderful, and delicious to read. I enjoyed that the storyline was unusual and imaginative, not at all formulaic as it could have been
