    About this audiobook

    Boys are being trained at one school for geniuses, girls at another. Neither knows the other exists — until now. The New York Times best-selling author of Bird Box invites you into a world of secrets and horror in a coming-of-age story like no other.

    J is a student at a school deep in a forest far away from the rest of the world.

    J is one of only 26 students, all of whom think of the school’s enigmatic founder as their father. J’s peers are the only family he has ever had. The students are being trained to be prodigies of art, science, and athletics, and their life at the school is all they know — and all they are allowed to know.

    But J suspects that there is something out there, beyond the pines, that the founder does not want him to see, and he’s beginning to ask questions. What is the real purpose of this place? Why can the students never leave? And what secrets is their father hiding from them?

    Meanwhile, on the other side of the forest, in a school very much like J’s, a girl named K is asking the same questions. J has never seen a girl, and K has never seen a boy. As K and J work to investigate the secrets of their two strange schools, they come to discover something even more mysterious: each other.

      4.5! Great concept. It starts slowly and builds, and build, and builds to its grand conclusion!
    • 1/5
      I really wanted to love this, but it's absolutely riddled with plot holes, uncharacteristic behaviors, and a plot twist that was revealed in the synopsis. I am super sad about this.
    • 1/5
      At the begining of the second bubbling –apparently self-referential– monologue of the writer-character it dawned on me with absolute clarity me that I had already had enough of it.
