I spent a couple of afternoons with this alternate universe-type of book. Recommended to me by the author, his main character, Daniel is unable to tell lies of any kind, so when the soldiers show up in his town, the sergeant latches onto Daniel to learn the secrets of the community. Except the community knows Daniel's onus and doesn't share all their secrets with him. ( )

I thought this was a great book about friendships and what you would do to stop soildgers from destroying Here and There. Mystery, Cliff hangers, Sad surprising and a fun book. ( )
