Serena Yates's Reviews > Borrowed Boy

Adoption can be a good thing, but when it goes wrong, like it does in this gripping novel about the consequences of a fake adoption based on illegal papers, the emotional fallout for everyone concerned can be catastrophic. Told from the point of view of thirteen-year-old Zavier, this story is about the events that follow the discovery that his adoption was “fake” – everything from Zavier finding out that he was adopted in the first place, that his biological parents have been looking for him for years, and the crushing (for him) fact that they now want him back. Zavier’s world collapses in one fell swoop and his entire future turns into what he expects to be a disaster.
